What is the distance from the earth to the center of the earthes crust?
The average distance from the surface of the Earth to the center of the Earth's crust is about 33 kilometers (20.5 miles). This distance can vary depending on location, as Earth's crust is not uniformly thick.
What is the lowest layer of sediment?
The lowest layer of sediment is called bedrock. Bedrock is the solid rock that lies beneath soil and sediment layers and serves as the foundation for the Earth's crust. It is typically composed of igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rock that has not been significantly weathered or eroded.
What structure is formed when ocean crust subducts below continental crust?
A deep ocean trench is formed when ocean crust subducts below continental crust. The descending oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle by the more buoyant continental plate. This process can also lead to the formation of volcanic arcs on the overriding plate.
What pushes up the Earth's crust without folding or faulting and also forms mountains?
The movement of tectonic plates pushing against each other can cause the Earth's crust to bulge and rise, forming mountains. This process, known as crustal uplift, occurs when the forces acting on the crust are strong enough to raise it without significant folding or faulting along the way.
Crust under the ocean is called?
Crust under the oceans is called oceanic crust.
What is the breakdown of the earth's crust into sediment called?
weathering
What is the breakdown of the earths crust into sediment?

What is break in the earthes crust?

What are the layers of the earthes crust?
the crust is a single layer
What is the movement of large segment of the earthes crust?
i am not positive, but possibly continental drift
As rivers flow into the ocean and deposit thick layers of sediment on the ocean floor what will the crust under the sediment do?
the crust will cool to form metamorphic rock

What is the top crust layer of earth called?
The top crust layer of the Earth is called the crust.
Why is the earth's crust called the crust?
The earth's crust is called the crust because it the outer surface of the earth like the crust of pizza.
The top crust of the earth is called?
actually its called the crust
What are the parts of a loaf or bread called the end pieces are called the heel The outside is called the crust The inside is called the crumb But what is the bottom crust called and the top crust?
It is still just called the crust. If you don't cut the bread into slices then the heels are still covered with the same thing... the crust.
