What is the first layer of earth touching the earth surface called?

The first layer of the Earth that touches the Earth's surface is called the crust. This outermost layer is relatively thin compared to the other layers of the Earth and is where we live and interact with our environment.


What layer is water vapor found in the atmosphere?

Water vapor is found in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. This layer extends from the Earth's surface up to an average height of about 8 to 14.5 kilometers (5 to 9 miles) depending on location.


What layer of atmosphere contains most of the water vapor?

The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains the most water vapor. This is the layer closest to the Earth's surface and where weather events occur.


Which layer contains all the water vapor that that forms clouds?

There is no one layer. The throphsphere is the closest layer to earth, and associated with cold fronts, and thunder storms. The Stratosphere is the second most closest to earth, and is associated with warm fronts (usually a steady rain for a day or so). Then there is the Ionosphere, the most highest clouds which is Ice particles that contain no water vapors that will fall to earth.


What is the layer above the earth that water enters when evaporates?

The layer of the atmosphere in which evaporated water (or sublimated ice) enters is the troposphere. Of course some moisture enters the stratosphere when some thunderstorms overshoot the tropopause, due to strong convective updrafts.
