it is the movement of the earths crust. it moves inwards towards other plates so the earths crust moves upwards therefore forming mountains, volcanoes etc
How is the crust different to the other layers?
The crust of a pizza tends to be made up mainly of wheat, while the upper layer has other ingredients, such as tomatoes, cheese, etc.

Yes because like sedimentary rocks they stacked on top of each other
What builds up when pieces of earths crust try to slide past each other?
Pressure

What is the difference between relative ages of and relative position of rocks?
Age is how old the rock is relative to other rocks, position is where the rock is in relation to other rocks. Tectonic motion and other forces can easily turn a portion of the Earths crust upside down resulting in older rock lying above younger layers.
How do you find the earth's crust compared to the other lyers?
Earth's crust is the thinnest among the other earth's layers.
How does the density of Earth's crust compare to the other layers?

Where can you find minerals other than earths crust?
the oceanic plate

When compared to the other layers of Earth which layer has the lowest density?

Why do geologist think earths core contains mostly iron?

How was magnetite formed?

What is a vent in the earths crust from which lava and other materials are ejected called?
Volcano
What is the definition of the crust of the earth?
The Earth's outermost layer of hard brittle rock is called the crust. The crust is typically about 23 miles thick beneath continents, and about 6.5 miles thick beneath oceans. The crust is relatively light and brittle compared to other Earth layers. Most earthquakes occur within the crust.
