The outermost layer of the egg model represents the crust.
Thin
Crust is made up of mainly granite, a felsic rock wit a lower density than basalt, what makes up the ocean's crust, thus why the continental crust rises up compared to ocean crust.
The "Crust" is one of the Earth's layer.It can be compared to an eggshell
An eggshell is the hard, white or brown outside, or you could call it crust, that encircles the yolk and white of the egg.
younger

Iron and magnesium, when compared to continental crust.
less dense and more felsic
thinner and denser
The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth.It is also the outermost layer being the opposite of the core.You can also compare it with an eggshell.Because the earth has three layers an hard boiled egg also have three layers : EGGSHELL- CRUST EGGWHITE- MANTLE EGGYOLK - CORE
The outermost layer of the egg model represents the crust.
The composition of the continental crust is granitic overall, high in silicon and aluminum, when compared to the oceanic crust.
Eggshell
The crust is extremely thin compared to the mantle and core
