== == The Crust--The outer skin of the planet is composed of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock. Continental Crust: Comprised predominately of rocks most resembling granite, the continental crust is relatively thick compared to the oceanic crust with a depth that ranges from 30 km to 50 km. The average specific gravity of continental crustal rock is 2.7. Oceanic Crust: At an average depth of 5 km to 10 km, the oceanic crust is thinner than the continental crust. Oceanic crustal rocks are composed mainly of the igneous rocks basalt, diabase, and gabbro, which are mafic in composition. The average specific gravity of oceanic crustal rock is 2.9.
There are two types of crust's. I dont know which one you are talking about, but it is probably the continental crust. The other type of crust is the Oceanic crust. The first continental crust is about 4-7 miles (6-11 km) thick and mainly consists of heavy rocks, like basalt. The Continental crust is thicker than the Oceanic crust, about 19 miles(30 km) thick. It is mainly made up of light material like granite.
The crust has a diameter of 2867 km.
The Moho averages 4 kilometers in depth under oceanic crust and 30 kilometers in depth under continental crust.
From the information I am providing here you can work this out.Inner core: depth of 5,150-6,370 kilometresOuter core: depth of 2,890-5,150 kilometresLower mantle: depth of 650-2,890 kilometresTransition region: depth of 400-650 kilometresUpper mantle: depth of 10-400 kilometresOceanic crust: depth of 0-10 kilometres, Continental crust: depth of 0-75 kilometres
Most earthquakes occur at a depth of between 13-18 km. This is the Brittle-Ductile Transition zone and marks the strongest part of Earth's crust. The depth of the focus can be categorized as shallow, up to 70 km below the surface, or deep which is greater than 300 km. The fewest earthquakes have a depth range greater than 70 km.
The depth of the crust varies between 10 and 70 km in different areas, depending where you would measure it.
The oceanic crust has an average depth in the range of 5-10 kilometers.

6-8 km make sure you check this answer!
Oceanic crust is roughly 4 miles in average depth. Continental crust is on average 25-30 miles in depth.

The crust is much thinner than the mantle.
The temperature increases with increasing depth within Earth's crust.
the depth of earth's crust
The thickness of the Earh's crust about 40 km will be at the contenintal crust.
