Plains and valleys usually have a thicker soil layer because over time, sediment and organic material like decaying plants accumulate in these flat areas. These sediments are often carried by water or wind and gradually build up, creating a thicker layer of soil compared to sloped or hilly areas where erosion is more prevalent.
Deposition can contribute to the formation and growth of plains by depositing sediments that flatten and level the land surface. Over time, repeated deposition of sediments can build up a thick layer that forms expansive plains. Additionally, deposition from rivers can create fertile soil for agriculture on plains.
We live on the crust. It is the thinnest layer of rock.
The mantle layer of the Earth is approximately 2,900 kilometers (1,800 miles) thick. It is located between the Earth's crust and core. The mantle is composed of solid rock that can flow slowly over long periods of time.
Glaciers shaped the interior plains by depositing thick layers of sediment that formed the flat landscape we see today. As glaciers advanced and retreated, they also carved out river valleys and lakes, leaving behind fertile soils that support agriculture in the region. Additionally, the meltwater from glaciers helped to create the extensive network of rivers and wetlands that define the interior plains.
The layer of the Earth that includes the surface is the crust. It is the outermost solid layer of the Earth, ranging from 5 to 70 km thick beneath the oceans and up to 100 km thick beneath the continents.
Yes, it usually will.

The thickness of the Earth's crust would fall in that range, the thin range in rift valleys, the thick end in mountain ranges.

Ozone layer is the thick layer. It protects us from UV rays of the sun.
The mucosa layer of the stomach, which is composed of epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae, varies in thickness but is typically around 0.5mm. The submucosa layer is usually around 1mm thick, the muscularis externa layer can be up to 2-3mm, and the serosa layer is around 0.1mm thick.
2000 km thick
several of thousands of meters thick
mantle is the thick layer before you reach the core of the earth
Yes it will be warmer depending on how thick your thick layer is!
