Thermal NRG affects the Earth's crust by:
Causing temperature differences in the magma causing the crust to push up and down out and in of the ground. It also has to do with Geothermal Gradient and Energy:
Temperature within the Earth increases with depth. Highly viscous or partially molten rock at temperatures between 650 to 1,200 °C (1,202 to 2,192 °F) is postulated to exist everywhere beneath the Earth's surface at depths of 50 to 60 miles (80 to 100 kilometers)[citation needed], and the temperature at the Earth's inner core/outer core boundary, around 3,500 kilometres (2,200 mi) deep, is estimated to be 5650 ± 600 kelvins.[6][7]The heat content of the earth is1031 joules.[1]
Also Geothermal NRG:
Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter. Earth's geothermal energy originates from the original formation of the planet (20%) and from radioactive decay of minerals (80%).[1]The geothermal gradient, which is the difference in temperature between the core of the planet and its surface, drives a continuous conduction of thermal energy in the form of heat from the core to the surface. The adjective geothermal originates from the Greek roots γη (ge), meaning earth, and θερμος (thermos), meaning hot.
At the core of the Earth, thermal energy is created by radioactive decay and temperatures may reach over 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5000 degrees Celsius). Heat conducts from the core to surrounding cooler rock. The high temperature and pressure cause some rock to melt, creating magma convection upward since it is lighter than the solid rock. The magma heats rock and water in the crust, sometimes up to 700 degrees Fahrenheit (370 degrees Celsius). [2]
From hot springs, geothermal energy has been used for bathing since Paleolithic times and for space heating since ancient Roman times, but it is now better known for electricity generation. Worldwide, about 10,715 megawatts (MW) of geothermal power is online in 24 countries. An additional 28 gigawatts of direct geothermal heating capacity is installed for district heating, space heating, spas, industrial processes, desalination and agricultural applications.[3]
Geothermal power is cost effective, reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly,[4]but has historically been limited to areas near tectonic plate boundaries. Recent technological advances have dramatically expanded the range and size of viable resources, especially for applications such as home heating, opening a potential for widespread exploitation. Geothermal wells release greenhouse gases trapped deep within the earth, but these emissions are much lower per energy unit than those of fossil fuels. As a result, geothermal power has the potential to help mitigate global warming if widely deployed in place of fossil fuels.
The Earth's geothermal resources are theoretically more than adequate to supply humanity's energy needs, but only a very small fraction may be profitably exploited. Drilling and exploration for deep resources is very expensive.[citation needed] Forecasts for the future of geothermal power depend on assumptions about technology, energy prices, subsidies, and interest rates.
Hope you like the answer!! Sorry it's so long, but there are a LOT of ways.
Geothermal energy is from heated water within the earth's crust.
no it's an earthquake.
Compression and tension can indeed affect the thickness of the Earth's crust. Compression can thicken the crust by folding and faulting, while tension can cause stretching and thinning of the crust through processes like rifting and faulting. These tectonic forces play a significant role in shaping the Earth's crust over geological time scales.
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
The earth's crust is not stress
Because the sauce has thermal energy in it, so the crust does not contain thermal energy .When you heat up the pizza energy is transferring from the microwave/stove into the pizza, but not the crust.
it gets soggy
yes, to a certain extend. The rock is cooled by the thermal extraction. It will slowly warm up again from radioactive decay (fission) in the earths core and crust.
Two sources of thermal energy in Earth's interior are residual heat from the planet's formation over 4.5 billion years ago and radioactive decay of elements like uranium, thorium, and potassium within the Earth's crust and mantle.
it can be found on earths crust
A magma chamber.

Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.

The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
