What depth does the asthenosphere start and how far down does it extend?
The asthenosphere is the layer of Earth that lies at a depth 60-150 mi (100-250 km) beneath Earth's surface.
What increases as temperature increases in the structure of the earth?

What is the depth of earth surface in kilometers?
A surface has area but no depth. Therefore the Earth's Surface has a depth of 0.0 kilometers.
What is the focal depth of the Great Sumatra Andaman Earthquake?
The focal depth of an earthquake is how far beneath the earth's surface the hypo-center of the earthquake.Because of its location in the Indian Ocean, however, its focal depth is measured as 30 kilometers below mean sea level, rather than being measured at the seabed.

What is a flat surface to put things on?
A flat surface is no more that a plain horizontal surface with no depth. For example the surface of a table top is a flat surface, that is the surface only, not the depth of the top or the rest of the table
