The atmosphere sits above Earth's oceans due to gravity, which pulls all matter towards the center of the planet. The density of air is lower than that of water, so it occupies the space above the oceans. Temperature and pressure also play a role in determining the vertical distribution of the atmosphere.
What else can I help you with?
Why are the continents placed above the oceans?
Because continental crust is less dense and thicker than oceanic crust, it "floats" higher on the underlying mantle rock. Notice how high the continental crust rises above the oceanic crust in this cross section of the North American Plate. Oceanic crust is made of dense basalt; continental crust consists of less dense granite
Why is continental crust situated at an higher elevation than the oceanic crust?
Continental crust is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust, making it sit higher above sea level. The buoyant nature of continental crust allows it to rise above the denser oceanic crust, resulting in higher elevations on land.
What term can be used to refer to the remote access of a fracture sit?

If you sit nearer the middle of a seesaw will you seem to be heavier or lighter?
You will seem lighter because you're reducing the lever arm between you and the fulcrum (pivot point), thus requiring less force to balance the seesaw.
