What is the upper layer of the Earth including the crust?
The layer of the Earth which forms the tectonic plates is composed of the crust and uppermost mantle and is called the lithosphere.
Which layer is thinnest under the oceans?
The layer that is thinnest under the oceans is the crust. While it is thinnest in those underwater regions, it is the thickest in the regions where mountains are.
What is the uppermost layer of the earth?
The uppermost layer of the Earth is called the crust. It is divided into two types: continental crust, which makes up the landmasses, and oceanic crust, which forms the ocean floors. The crust is thinnest under the oceans and thickest under mountain ranges.
What is the outer layer of the earth called?
The crust is the outer or surface layer of the planet.

Which earths layer includes the land that make up the continents and land under the ocean?
The layer that includes the land making up continents and the land under the ocean is the crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface. It is divided into continental crust, which forms the continents, and oceanic crust, which lies beneath the oceans.
What is the thinest layer of earth called?
The thinnest layer of the Earth is the crust, which is divided into the continental crust (on land) and the oceanic crust (under the ocean). The thickness of the crust varies, with the oceanic crust being thinner (about 5-10 km) than the continental crust (about 20-70 km).
lithosphere?
a rigid layer that can break under stress
