How does the thickness of the earths crust vary?
Inconsistently.
Earths crust the same density and thickness throughout?
falseThe Earth's crust is quite variable in density and thickness. Some places on the ocean floors it is many miles thinner than on land.
What is the average thickness of the oceanic crust?
The average thickness of oceanic crust is 5 miles.
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 average thickness of the earths 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.
How does the earths crust vary in thickness?
It ranges from 6 to 70 km.

0 miles. You are sitting on it.
Is the thickness of Earth's crust even around the planet?
No. The crust varies greatly in thickness. The crust may by as little as 3 miles thick at mid-ocean ridges and as thick as 30 miles in mountain ranges on the continents.
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.)
