How do floods affect the earths crust?
it gets soggy
The crust is only what of earths thickness?
half of earths layer
What is the earths under crust surrounded by?
Earths under crust surrounded by Upper Mantle (35-60 km) .The mantle is composed of sillicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
Is it true that earths crust contains most of earths mass?
No. The crust contains a small fraction of earth's mass. Most of the mass is contained in the mantle.
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.
Compare the way that compression affects the crust to the way that tension affects the crust?
compression and tension are opposite. compression pushes the crust together but tension pulls it apart

Compression is a force that changes earths crust by?

What type of stress causes the earths crust to become thinner?
Tension
How does stress affect earth's crust?
Shearing, tension, and compression work over millions of years to change the shape and volume of rock. Those are types of stress.
