Where would the thickness of the earth's crust be about 40 km?
The thickness of the Earh's crust about 40 km will be at the contenintal crust.
Is oceanic crust near the mid-ocean ridge older thean oceanic crust farther away from the ridge?

What islands are in the middle of the Atlantic?
Iceland is a volcanic island on the midatlantic ridge, separating the North American Plate to the west from the European Plate to the east.
What is the shortening of a hip rafter at the ridge?
half diagonal thickness of ridge
What is the midatlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlanic Ridge is the divergent boundary that is responsible for seafloor spreading. Consisting mostly of divergent boundaries, with transform faults as well, this is the site where new oceanic crust is added, increasing the size of the ocean. This location is dotted with underwater volcanoes as igneous basaltic magma is added to fill in the gap left as the oceanic plates drift away.
Beneath which surface location is Earth's crust the thinnest?
The Earth's crust is thinnest beneath the oceans. Oceanic crust averages about 5-10 kilometers (3-6 miles) in thickness, while continental crust can range from 20-70 kilometers (12-43 miles).
Which layer of Earth is most similar in thickness to that of the atmosphere?
The Earth's crust is most similar in thickness to that of the atmosphere. The Earth's crust varies in thickness from oceanic crust (around 5-10 km) to continental crust (around 20-70 km), which is comparable to the thickness of the atmosphere (around 100 km).
Is the oceanic crust near a mid-ocean ridge thicker or thinner than the oceanic crust away from the mid-ocean ridge?
The Oceanic Crust close to the Mid Ocean Ridge is thinner than that Oceanic Crust far away from the ridge. This is due to tensional forces, as a result of crustal expansion and rock fracturing during the formation of the ridge.the oceanic crust is thinner
When did MidAtlantic Airways end?
MidAtlantic Airways ended in 2006.
When was MidAtlantic Airways created?
MidAtlantic Airways was created in 2002.
What layer of crust averages 25 miles in thickness?
Continental 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.
