Continental crust.
The Earth's crust can vary in thickness, but on average it is about 5-70 kilometers (3-44 miles) thick. However, it can be much thicker under mountain ranges and thinner under the ocean floor.
The Earth's crust ranges in thickness from five to 25 miles. It is the outermost layer of the Earth and is divided into two types: continental crust and oceanic crust. Continental crust is thicker than oceanic crust.
The Earth's outermost layer, the crust, varies in thickness from about 5-70 kilometers (3-43 miles) beneath the oceans to about 30-50 kilometers (19-31 miles) beneath the continents.
The layer you are referring to is the continental crust, which averages about 25 miles in thickness. It is the outermost solid shell of the Earth and is composed of various rocks, such as granite and sedimentary rocks.
Oceanic and continental combined is approximately 25 miles.
the earths crust is 25 miles beneath the continents and 6.5 miles beneath the ocean
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.

Earth's crust is typically between 5 to 70 kilometers (3 to 44 miles) thick, with an average thickness of around 40 kilometers (25 miles). However, this thickness can vary depending on location, with oceanic crust being thinner than continental crust.

The oceanic crust.
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
The Earth's crust can vary in thickness, but on average it is about 5-70 kilometers (3-44 miles) thick. However, it can be much thicker under mountain ranges and thinner under the ocean floor.
The Earth's crust ranges in thickness from five to 25 miles. It is the outermost layer of the Earth and is divided into two types: continental crust and oceanic crust. Continental crust is thicker than oceanic crust.
The Earths Crust can be divided between Oceanic Crust and Continental Crust. Oceanic and Continental Crust are quiet different. The thickness of oceanic crust is between 5km and 10km. It is made of mainly basalt, grabbo and diabise. The thickness of continental crust is between 30km and 50km. It is made up of lighter rocks such as granite.
The Earth's outermost layer, the crust, varies in thickness from about 5-70 kilometers (3-43 miles) beneath the oceans to about 30-50 kilometers (19-31 miles) beneath the continents.
