Weathering is mainly observed on the surface of which sphere?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Lithosphere

Weathering is the breakdown or alteration of rock at or near Earth’s surface. It affects the solid rocky material that forms the lithosphere, including exposed rocks, soil-forming material, and the upper part of the crust. Physical weathering breaks rock into smaller pieces, chemical weathering changes or dissolves minerals, and biological weathering involves organisms such as roots or burrowing animals.

Option B, the lithosphere, is therefore the best answer. The atmosphere is the layer of gases around Earth, and the stratosphere is only one part of that atmosphere. The ionosphere is a region of the upper atmosphere affected by charged particles, not the main solid surface where rocks weather. Weathering can interact with air and water, but the material being weathered is chiefly part of the lithosphere.
