What is the layer just below Earth's surface called?
The layer just below Earth's surface is called the lithosphere. It consists of the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust, and it is broken into tectonic plates that are constantly moving and interacting with each other.
What is the layer below the earths crust called?
the mantle then the outer core then the inner core
Is the asthenosphere the thinnest layer?
No. The mantle is below the crust (what we live on), which is the thinnest layer of the earth.
How does ozone layer of earth's surface plays an important role?
See the related questions section below.
What is the name of the earth's ozone layer that limits the amount and type of solar radiation striking the surface?
See "What is the ozone layer?" in the "Related questions" section below.
Where are you if you are 100km below the surface?
If you were 100 km below the surface you would be in the upper mantle / asthenosphere.
Rock can melt at a depth of about what degree below Earth's surface?

What layer of the earth is 4000 miles below the earths surface?
The inner core is 4,000 miles below Earth's surface.

Why the surface layer of water in the poles is colder than the layer just below it yet the colder layer floats on top?
Due to the anamolous behaviour of water, the surface water being cooled by the external environment falls below 4C and begin to expand. when this surface water molecules expand they rise to the top due to a decrease in density as compared to the water below the surface. the cooler the temperature henceforth, the more the expansion of the surface water molecules till it solidifies to become ice. this surface ice then acts as an insulator and prevents the exchange of heat between the environment the water molecules just below it, thus maintaining the temperature of the water below the surface as constant.
What is the layer below the earths crust called?
the mantle then the outer core then the inner core
