What is the name for Earth's crusts?
CRUST MANTLE CORE The Earth's outermost surface is called the crust. The crust is typically about 25 miles thick beneath continents, and about 6.5 miles thick beneath oceans. The crust is relatively light and brittle. Most earthquakes occur within the crust. The crust in this image is much smaller in the real earth!

The continental crust, (where all the land is) is generally around 30 km (20 mi) to 50 km (30 mi) thick. The oceanic crust (the bottom of the sea) is roughly 5 km (3 mi) to 10 km (6 mi) thick.
Facts about the earths crust?
The crust is about 40 kilometers thick in many places. The crust is the coldest layer of all the layers of earth. The crust makes up less than 1% of the earths mass. The crust is mainly made up of silicon,aluminum,calcium,sodium, and potassium.
