Do compression and tension affect the thickness of earth's crust?
Yes, Compression can thicken the earths crust and tension can cause thinning in the earths crust.
Where would the thickness of the earths crust be about 40km and where would it be about 8km?

What percentage of the Earths crust is helium?
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 %).
How far beneath the earths surface would you have to go to be where there is no more granite?
Below the crust. This varies based on the thickness of the crust and it has to be continental crust for there to be granite. There are some exceptions to this but it is very complex and not very well understood at this time. The crust varies in thickness between ~25km and 70km (Basin and Range province and Himalayan Mountains, respectively).
Are all metals in the earths crust?
Yes all metals are in the earths crust in ore form.
The relative thickness of the Earths crust is similar to the relative thickness of the?
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.)
What is the thickness of an earth layer?
the crust is the thickness of earths layers
The crust is only what of earths thickness?
half of earths layer
Do compression and tension affect the thickness of earth's crust?
Yes, Compression can thicken the earths crust and tension can cause thinning in the earths crust.
What is the thickness of the earths crust in miles?
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.
Break in earths crust where pieces of the crust move relative to each other?
A fault is a break in the Earth's crust where pieces of the crust move relative to each other. This movement can cause earthquakes as stress builds up along the fault line and is released suddenly. Faults are common in regions where tectonic plates interact and are essential for understanding earthquake hazards.
What is the thickness in miles of the earths crust?
Oceanic and continental combined is approximately 25 miles.
Which layer of Earth is most similar in thickness to that of the atmosphere?
crust
What is the average thickness of Earth's crust?
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.
