The first layer of the Earth's crust is called crust and is about 10 miles of rock and other types of loose materials. The next layer is called the mantle which is made up of thick rock that goes about 1,800 miles deep. Then comes the outer core which most scientist believe is made up of very hot molten lava and then the inner core which is a solid ball that contains iron and nickel.

Oxygen in the Earth's Crust facts?
Highly reactive and combines with minerals well.
What are facts about Continental and Oceanic Crust and Lithospheric Plates Including what they are made of and their approximate temperature?
the continential crust is made of granitic rocks and the oceanic crust is made of basat and gabbro. the temp of the continential crust is -84.4 to 70.7c and the temp for oceanic crust is -18 to 380c and the lithopheric plates are made of felsic rocks. good luck with the rest.

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.

They happen at divergent boundaries in our crust. This is where tectonic plates are separating, and they represent some of the "newest" parts of our planet.
