In 1942 the geophysicist Keith Bullen published a paper describing the earth's internal layering in which he used letters to designate various layers from the surface to the core. In this scheme, the earth's lower mantle was known as the D layer.

∙ 10y agoThe layer below the earth's outer layer is mesosphere. It is the 3rd layer.

The crust.
No. the layer that actually reaches the surface is the troposphere.

Lithosphere :)

the layer of rock that comprises 67% of earths mass
half of earths layer
The earth thinnest layer is the crust.
The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth.
The D" layer (pronounced D double prime layer) forms the base of the Earth's lower mantle. Below this lies the outer core. This boundary zone is marked by a seismic discontinuity known as the Gutenberg discontinuity.
Actually, the Troposphere Layer can be considered as Earth's first protective layer, because its well-the atmosphere's first layer. You can think of it that way to remember which is Earths first layer.
Earth's crust is part of the Earth's outermost layer, along with the mantle and core. It is composed mainly of solid rock and is where most geological processes, like plate tectonics and volcanic activity, occur. The crust is thinner beneath the ocean than on land and is divided into several large tectonic plates that continuously move and interact with each other.
mesosphere
The first layer of the Earth's atmosphere is called the troposphere, and it is in direct contact with the Earth's surface. This layer is where weather events occur and where most of the Earth's clouds and precipitation are found. Temperature usually decreases with altitude in the troposphere.
The layer below the earth's outer layer is mesosphere. It is the 3rd layer.
