When continental crust collides with the same crust it creates an earthquake, or sometime it can cause a volcano to explode. Including oceanic crust.
The crust moves like globe, for example. you know how there is rings around it? that will be the crust and the ball will be the mantle. Spin the rings, not the globe. the crust moves AROUND the mantle
The oceans flow to the places where the crust is the lowest. Gravity causes them to flow downward. The mantle, below the crust, is at the same depth everywhere, so if the crust is lower, it is because it is thinner.
True
The Earth has a radius of 6,360 km. The crust varies in thickness from around 5-70 km with an average value of around 35 km. As such Earth's crust is between approximately 0.07 and 1.1 % of the total thickness of the Earth (average of 0.55 %).
The answer is subduction. In locations around the world, ocean crust subducts, or slides under, other pieces of Earth's crust. Deep below the Earth's surface, subduction causes partial melting of both the ocean crust and mantle as they slide past one another.

Crust forming around your piercing is part of the healing process. Do not pick the crust off as it will reopen the wound.
The amount of crust present on Earth always stays the same. The amount of crust descending into the mantle is balanced by the amount of crust formed at mid-ocean ridges.
the crust of the world
An Isochron is a line on a map that denotes crust that formed at the same time.
Density will vary from place to place with ocean crust being denser than continental crust.
the lithosphere and the crust of the earth are the same lithosphere is another word for crust so the thickest is both of them.
crust :-)
"Lithosphere" is the term given to the rocky outer layers of the Earth. The "Earth's Crust" is another name for the same thing.
Doughnuts do not have crust like bread does, however you could argue that the outside of a doughnut is the crust, but it is the same as the rest of the doughnut.
