How does gravity affect the density and physical features of earth’s layers?

The atmosphere and Earth's interior are layered by density. The differentiation between these layers is due to processes that took place during the early stages of Earth's formation (ca. 4.5 billion years ago). At this time, melting would have caused denser substances to sink toward the center while less-dense materials would have migrated to the crust.

Gravity pulls more strongly on denser materials so denser materials are at the center of things. The lowest layer of the atmosphere is denser than the upper layer. Earth's liquid metal oure has convection, which generates the magnetic field.

Explanation:

Gravity pulls more strongly on denser materials so denser materials are at the center of things. The lowest layer of the atmosphere is denser than the upper layer. Earth's liquid metal core has convection, which generates the magnetic field.

The five physical layers are the lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere, outer core, and inner core.  Each layer has its own properties, composition, and characteristics that affects many of the key processes of our planet. They are, in order from the exterior to the interior – the crust, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core.

The layers of the Earth are responsible for the formation of our continents. Earthquakes can be important because of energy (seismic energy) released. The atmosphere and Earth's interior are layered by density. Gravity pulls more strongly on denser materials so denser materials are at the center of things. Earth's core, at its center, is denser than its crust. The lowest layer of the atmosphere is denser than the upper layer.
