The surface of the earth is made up of two layers:- the oceanic crust and the continental crust.
The oceanic crust is between 6-10km in thickness while the continental crust may be up to 70 km thick.

hot spots
What is a thin place on Earths crust called where a volcanoes can form?
HOTSPOTS are a place on the earth's crust in the middle of a tectonic plate where volcanoes get formed rapidly.
What makes up about 95 percent of the rocks in earths crust?
Igneous and metamorphic rock make up 95% of the rocks in Earth's crust. Only a thin layer is made up of sedimentary rock.

Thin layers of rocks and minerals on earths surface called?
The crust.
Is the earths crust less than one percent of earths mass?
With a very sizable iron core and a (by comparison) wafer-thin crust, I doubt that the earth's crust even approximates a full percentage point.
What is the percentage of the earths crust?
The percentage of Earth's crust is less than one percentage in terms of Earth's volume. The Earth's crust is actually a thin layer.
