What is the crusts thickness?

There are two types of crust's. I dont know which one you are talking about, but it is probably the continental crust. The other type of crust is the Oceanic crust. The first continental crust is about 4-7 miles (6-11 km) thick and mainly consists of heavy rocks, like basalt. The Continental crust is thicker than the Oceanic crust, about 19 miles(30 km) thick. It is mainly made up of light material like granite.
