False, the crust is actually a lot less dense than the materials below the crust, the mantle and the core, which contains the heavier elements of the earth's composition. The crust is in fact very thin in comparision to the size of the earth. The crust is only the first 40 km of under the surface, while to get to the core it is 6378km. The crust is about .62% of the earth's thickness, its almost like imagining earth as an orange and the crst being the wax covering the orange.
