What is the geosphere's function?

• controls the distribution of minerals, rocks and soils and generates natural hazards that shape the land and impact humans
• a recycling planet powered by the flow of solar energy to support a network of life.
• sustains various life forms and plays an important role in ecosystems and regulating heat on earth.
• sustains life forms on the surface of the earth, absorbs and interacts with harmful  solar rays.It protects the earth from natural and human-caused space debris.
