Earth, minus the oceans and atmosphere
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 excludes the Earth's fluid envelopes, the atmosphere and hydrosphere (but includes the ocean basin), as well as the biosphere and interactions with the Sun.
