Why does the thickness of the Earth's crust range from 6 to 70km?
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.
