Which layer of the atmosphere has gravity?

The atmosphere is NOT again I repeat NOT a layer. The layers are the exosphere, the thermosphere, the ionosphere, the mesosphere, the stratosphere, the ozonesphere, and the troposphere.


AM carrier waves have relatively low frequencies they can travel quite a distance why?

They are reflected round the curve of the Earth off layers in the atmosphere which act as mirrors (the ionosphere).


When something is layered it means that one thing is placed over another. is that true?

Yes, although your definition is a little too vague. "I have placed the portrait over the fireplace" is not an example of layering. Layers are surfaces or planes which are laid on top of each other. There are usually more than two such surfaces before we start talking about layers, but there do not need to be. ("a layer of dust lay on the table" is an example of two layers--the dust and the tabletop.) Layers can be quite thick--the layers of the atmosphere for example, but they are always much thinner than they are long and wide.


What is the law of superpostition?

All this means is that if you see a diagram of rock layers, the oldest layers are on the bottom and the newer layers are on top.


What are inverted layers in hairdressing are they the same as an inverted bob?

Typically layers are shorter in the crown and gradually get longer - called a 45 degree angle. Inverted layers are the opposite. Layers are longest in the crown resulting in heaviness in the crown with less bulk around the bottom. A inverted bob is a style that uses inverted layers but these layers can also be applied to longer hairstyles.
