Are the five layers of the atmosphere in earth or out of earth?

The five layers of the Earth's atmosphere are within the Earth, as part of the planet's atmosphere. These layers include the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.


How do geologists estimate the thickness and temperature of the layers of the earth?

How do they know this well let me begin with there is a lot of density or pressure I think I wouldn't put this down on worksheet for school but if it's for fun than go ahead read it as you already have by know.


How are the layers of the earth held together?

The layers of the Earth are held together by gravity and the intense pressure from the weight of the overlying layers. This pressure causes the layers to be compacted and stick together, forming a solid structure.


Know how scientist can determine the depths of earths layers?

Scientists use seismic waves from earthquakes to determine the depths of Earth's layers. The speed and behavior of these waves change as they pass through different materials, allowing scientists to infer the structure of Earth's interior. This technique, called seismic tomography, helps researchers map the boundaries between Earth's layers and understand their composition and properties.


Why a peach is a poor model for earth layers?

A peach is not a good model for Earth's layers because its skin represents Earth's crust, but Earth's layers are much thicker and have different compositions than a peach. The peach model oversimplifies the complexity of Earth's layers and does not accurately represent the mantle, outer core, and inner core beneath the crust.

How do scientist learn about changes on earth from rocks?
