They are different because different minerals can be found at different layers. Also, the layers closer to the core of the earth will become more hot, causing melted rock (magma) to form.
The layers of gases that form around earth are called?
The gases that surround Earth are called the Ozone layer.
Why are layers of rocks different thicknesses?
The layers of rock are different thicknesses because of the way the sediments are formed and squashed together
Faults can form in which layer of the earth?
Faults are formed at the outer solid layers of the Earth. They are developed within the earths crust or Lithosphere.
What is stratification and why is it important to earth scientists?

What layers form Earth rigid mobile tectonic plates?
The lithosphere.

What earth foces cause metamorphic rocks to form?
Pressure through layers of crust
Can oil form naturally in the earth?
Yes they are naturally form earth. Oil is formed naturally from dead sea creatures which decompose and are crushed by new layers of sediment, creating deposits under the sea - That's why oil rigs are in the sea, not on land.
