What layer of atmosphere extends 50 - 85 km above earth's surface?

The Thermosphere ranges from about 80km to 500km. Here the 'temperature' goes up to 1500°C - but the molecules have such rare collisions, that speaking of a gas is somehow wrong. This name is used if you speak about the thermal structure of the atmosphere.
That region might also be called ionosphere (>50km). By that name you stress, that molecules are ionized by radiation.
Also this layer is called heterosphere(>100km) (above the turbopause). Here you stress that no turbulence occurs any more and therefore the atosphere doesn't mix.
regarding your category 'animal life' - there is no such life up there.

What is the air above the earths surface called?
The atmosphere
How far does the sratoshere extend above earths surface?
The stratosphere isn't on earth's surface, the troposphere is. The stratosphere is the next level of the atmosphere from the troposphere. the atmosphere is about 600 miles or kilometers above earth's surface.
What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation
What is the layer of the atmosphere farthest from Earth's surface?
exosphere
What is true about all plutons?
they form above earths surface (THIS ANSWER IS NOT CORRECT) They Form BELOW earths surface(:
What is the outer zone of the earths atmosphere?
The thermosphere is the outer layer of the earth's atmosphere. It extends from 80 kilometers above the earth's surface to outer space.

What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.
What atmosphere layer is above stratosphere?
The stratosphere is right above the troposphere, which is what we live in. The ozone layer exists within the stratosphere. It extends up to about 50km above the surface.
