The Earth's crust is quite variable in density and thickness. Some places on the ocean floors it is many miles thinner than on land.
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 Suns surface is about 6,000K much hotter than the Earths crust. The hottest lava can get at the surface is about 1,400K
convection below the crust.
Crust
venus,eath and marst are solid crust
on the near side there is less gravitational pull resulting in a thickness of 60km thick while the far side has a thickness of about 100km thick
the crust is the thickness of earths layers
half of earths layer
Yes, Compression can thicken the earths crust and tension can cause thinning in the earths crust.
The average is 9 miles.The average continental crust thickness is 22 miles thick. The maximum crust thickness is 56 miles underneath the Himalayas, and is 16 miles thick at its thinnest in various places.The average oceanic crust is about 4 miles thick.For the entire Earth then, the average crust thickness is 9 miles.To scale size, the earths crust would be about the thickness of 3 ordinary sheets of paper on a basketball. The thickness of a chicken eggshell would be 16 pieces of paper on a basketball, so the earths crust is 5 times thinner than a typical egg shell. And the crust is only as thick as the egg shell at its maximum thickness underneath Nepal.Sleep tight.
The Earth has a radius of 6,360 km. The crust varies in thickness from around 5-70 km with an average value of around 35 km. As such Earth's crust is between approximately 0.07 and 1.1 % of the total thickness of the Earth (average of 0.55 %).
Oceanic and continental combined is approximately 25 miles.
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.

the earths crust is 25 miles beneath the continents and 6.5 miles beneath the ocean

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.)
