Sedimentary rocks account for about 5 percent of the Earth's outermost 10 kilometers. These rocks cover 75 percent of the Earth's continental area.

The Earth's outermost layer of hard brittle rock is called the crust. The crust is typically about 23 miles thick beneath continents, and about 6.5 miles thick beneath oceans. The crust is relatively light and brittle compared to other Earth layers. Most earthquakes occur within the crust.
The surface area in square miles is 196,940,000

Asia - 17,212,000 sq. miles about 30% of the earths surface First off, Wrong. Second off, Wrong again. Water covers 75% of earths surface so how is Asia 30% of earths surface Even still, If Asia was 17,212,000 square miles then the Earth must be the size of Pluto xD Correct answer - Asia is more than 3 billion square miles
The circumference of the earth in miles is about 24,901 miles. The diameter is about 7,926 miles.
Earthâ??s mantle is the layer underneath the crust. It is composed of silicates and is nearly 2 thousand miles thick.
Earth's crust is made of sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rock. The continental crust is composed primarily of granitic rock and can be up to 45 miles thick. The oceanic crust is composed primarily of basaltic rock and can be up to 6 miles thick.
Sedimentary rock can stretch for miles.
