I thinck it is 25 miles thick:)
The part that is dry land is about 25 miles thick.
the crust
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 mantle, which contains the lithosphere, asthenosphere and the mesosphere
There are two types of crust's. I dont know which one you are talking about, but it is probably the continental crust. The other type of crust is the Oceanic crust. The first continental crust is about 4-7 miles (6-11 km) thick and mainly consists of heavy rocks, like basalt. The Continental crust is thicker than the Oceanic crust, about 19 miles(30 km) thick. It is mainly made up of light material like granite.
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
one and a half miles thick
yes. Earths crust is 20 miles thick and the moon"s crust is 40 miles thick.
The part that is dry land is about 25 miles thick.
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 depth of the crust varies between 10 and 70 km in different areas, depending where you would measure it.

about 25 miles thickoceanic crust is 4-7 miles thick and continental crust is an average of 20-25 miles with a maximum of about 45 miles
The continental crust is about 25 to 70 kilometers thick. The average is about 50 kilometers.
Earthâ??s mantle is the layer underneath the crust. It is composed of silicates and is nearly 2 thousand miles thick.
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.
