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.
On average, it is much thicker than oceanic crust.
the lithosphere is thinner under the oceanic crust
There are two types of crust, and they are the oceanic crust and the continental crust. Oceanic crust is thinner yet more dense than continental crust, and continental crust is on average older than oceanic crust :)
Oceanic crust is thinner and denser than continental crust.

It is not. The oceanic crust is thinner than the continental crust!

Typically, featherbeads are two or four inches thick. Over time, however, they will wear down and become thinner.
Earth's crust varies in thickness due to differences in composition and the effects of plate tectonics. Oceanic crust is thinner and more dense than continental crust, and thinnest where plates are diverging from each other. Continental crust is thickest at mountain ranges, where the crust has been thickened by plate collision or thermal uplift.

the oceanic crust is thinner, generally5-8 killometers thick, and is made of basalt, but the continental crust is an average of 30 km and is made of granite
