What is called a geographic shell and how does it differ from other shells of the earth?

The geographic envelope is the aggregate of several layers of the planet, such as the hydrosphere, biosphere, parts of the atmosphere (about 25 km high, it includes the troposphere and the lower part of the stratosphere) and the lithosphere (only the upper part of the earth’s crust). By this, the geological shell differs from other shells of the earth, since other shells are divided according to the physical characteristics of matter, for example, the lithosphere is solid, the atmosphere is gaseous, the hydrosphere is liquid, and the biosphere consists of living organisms.
