Solid Earth
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Solid Earth refers to "the Earth beneath our feet" or terra firma, the planet's solid surface and its interior.[1]:v[2]:1 It contrasts with the Earth's fluid envelopes, the atmosphere and hydrosphere (but includes the ocean basin), as well as the biosphere and interactions with the sun. It includes the liquid core.[citation needed] Solid-earth science refers to the corresponding methods of study, a subset of Earth sciences, predominantly geophysics and geology, excluding aeronomy, atmospheric sciences, oceanography, hydrology, and ecology.
