∙ 8y agoThe thickness of Earth's crust ranges from roughly 2 miles at the mid-ocean ridges to 70 miles in thickness under some continental mountain ranges, with an average overall depth of around 27 miles.

∙ 13y agoThe Earths Crust can be divided between Oceanic Crust and Continental Crust. Oceanic and Continental Crust are quiet different.
The thickness of oceanic crust is between 5km and 10km. It is made of mainly basalt, grabbo and diabise.
The thickness of continental crust is between 30km and 50km. It is made up of lighter rocks such as granite.

What is the thickness of an earth layer?
the crust is the thickness of earths layers
What is the thickness of the earths crust in miles?
The average is 9 miles.The average continental crust thickness is 22 miles thick. The maximum crust thickness is 56 miles underneath the Himalayas, and is 16 miles thick at its thinnest in various places.The average oceanic crust is about 4 miles thick.For the entire Earth then, the average crust thickness is 9 miles.To scale size, the earths crust would be about the thickness of 3 ordinary sheets of paper on a basketball. The thickness of a chicken eggshell would be 16 pieces of paper on a basketball, so the earths crust is 5 times thinner than a typical egg shell. And the crust is only as thick as the egg shell at its maximum thickness underneath Nepal.Sleep tight.

The relative thickness of the earth's crust would be approximately 1/3 to 1/4 the thickness of an eggshell if the earth were the size of a chicken's egg. (Actually being 7/2 = 3.5 ratio.)
Where is the crust the thickest on plate?
Areas of crustal plates with mountains are the greatest in thickness.
