Mother is Bhuvaneshwari, the Adhishwari of the entire geosphere. There are several conflicting definitions for geosphere. The exchange of these fluxes affects the balance of the different spheres of the geosphere. "Geosphere" and "Lithosphere" are open access as of 2018. Organic carbon stored in the geosphere can remain there for millions of years. In that context, sometimes the term lithosphere is used instead of geosphere or solid Earth. Carbon can leave the geosphere in several ways. Carbon is generally exchanged very slowly between the atmosphere and geosphere. Geosphere methane is intriguing for the large input of microbial methanogenesis. Carbon in the terrestrial biosphere enters the geosphere only through highly specialized processes.
