plasticlike mantle
The layer of the Earth that is roughly 100 km below the surface is part of the upper mantle called the asthenosphere. This region is characterized by its partially molten rock that allows for the movement of tectonic plates.
The layer just below Earth's surface is called the lithosphere. It consists of the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust, and it is broken into tectonic plates that are constantly moving and interacting with each other.
No. The mantle is below the crust (what we live on), which is the thinnest layer of the earth.
See the related questions section below.
The layer below the earth's outer layer is mesosphere. It is the 3rd layer.
If you were 100 km below the surface you would be in the upper mantle / asthenosphere.

The inner core is 4,000 miles below Earth's surface.

The core.
Due to the anamolous behaviour of water, the surface water being cooled by the external environment falls below 4C and begin to expand. when this surface water molecules expand they rise to the top due to a decrease in density as compared to the water below the surface. the cooler the temperature henceforth, the more the expansion of the surface water molecules till it solidifies to become ice. this surface ice then acts as an insulator and prevents the exchange of heat between the environment the water molecules just below it, thus maintaining the temperature of the water below the surface as constant.
Troposphere it is. It is the closest to the earth's surface.
Rock can start to melt at a depth of around 50-100 kilometers below Earth's surface due to high temperatures and pressure. This process can lead to the formation of magma, which can then rise to the surface and result in volcanic activity.
permafrost
The layer just below Earth's surface is called the lithosphere. It consists of the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust, and it is broken into tectonic plates that are constantly moving and interacting with each other.
The layer of soil just below the surface of the tundra is known as the permafrost. It is a thick layer of permanently frozen soil that acts as a barrier to water drainage and root penetration, making it challenging for plant growth in tundra regions.
Permafrost is the term used to describe a frozen layer of soil that remains below the surface layer of topsoil.
