The earth's atmosphere is basically the layer of gases above the ground and the geosphere is the ground. I think the atmosphere affects the geosphere through weathering and erosion - the wind blows sand around and wears away on rocks. And I think the geosphere affects the atmosphere: when volcanos erupt they release a lot of different gasses into the air including methane ~ methane is a potent greenhouse gas. And lately scientists are discussing the possibility that aerosols released by volcanos play a role in long term climate oscillations like the North Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation for one example.
