List the layers of the atmosphere in order moving up from earths surface?

The layers of the atmosphere, in order from Earth's surface moving upwards, are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.


What is the atmospheric layers in order from farthest away from the earths surface to the closest to the earths surface?

The atmospheric layers in order from farthest away from the Earth's surface to the closest are the exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere. Each layer has its own characteristics and plays a role in Earth's climate and weather patterns.


What two names for the process by which soil and rock are stripped from the Earths surface to expose underlying coal?

The two names for this process are surface mining or strip mining. Surface mining involves removing layers of soil and rock to access coal deposits beneath the surface. Strip mining specifically refers to the method of removing layers in strips to expose coal seams.


Thin layers of rocks and minerals on earths surface called?

These thin layers are called sedimentary rocks, which are formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments over time. Sedimentary rocks are one of the three main types of rocks found on Earth's surface, along with igneous and metamorphic rocks.


What is the different layers of the earths atmosphere?

The Earth's atmosphere is divided into five layers: the exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere. The exosphere is the outermost layer, gradually transitioning into space. The troposphere is the layer closest to the Earth's surface where weather phenomena occur.
