What happen to the continental crust after the ice from the ice age melted?
During the last glaciation the weight of the ice depressed the crust to such an extent that, once the weight was removed, the crust slowly re-bounded and, in some areas is still doing so.
Why does the crust vary in thickness from 5 to 50km?
Because of sea level and of mountains. It takes up or makes part of the crust.
Why does continental crusts stand higher on the mantle then oceanic crust?
Because Oceanic crust is more dense and the Continental Crust is mountains which are a lot taller than sea floor.

Are some mountains get higher by earth crust?
No ther are not mountains that get higher by the earths crust
How does the Earth's crust can move to make fold mountains?
because there is something called convergent boundary and that's when the crust pushes against the crust forming a mountain.
Where is the crust the thickest on plate?
Areas of crustal plates with mountains are the greatest in thickness.
Why does continental crusts stand higher on the mantle then oceanic crust?
Because Oceanic crust is more dense and the Continental Crust is mountains which are a lot taller than sea floor.
Where is the crust the thickest the plate?
The crust is thickest beneath the mountains.
Mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault?
what are mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault
When a continental crust collides with a continental crust what is formed?
Fold mountains.
How of the movements of earth's crust produced in rock mountains?
