the crust is the thickness of earths layers
Earths under crust surrounded by Upper Mantle (35-60 km) .The mantle is composed of sillicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
Earth's crust varies in thickness due to differences in composition and the effects of plate tectonics. Oceanic crust is thinner and more dense than continental crust, and thinnest where plates are diverging from each other. Continental crust is thickest at mountain ranges, where the crust has been thickened by plate collision or thermal uplift.

the crust is the thickness of earths layers
Yes, Compression can thicken the earths crust and tension can cause thinning in the earths crust.
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.

Oceanic and continental combined is approximately 25 miles.
The 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.
the earths crust is 25 miles beneath the continents and 6.5 miles beneath the ocean

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.)
