Continental crust can be 25 or more miles in thickness.
70 miles in thickness
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 thickness of the Oceanic crust is about 5 miles. The Thickness of the continental crust is about 22 miles
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.
the crust is the thickness of earths layers

Inconsistently.
The Earth's crust averages about 18 miles (30 kilometers) thick under the continents, but is only about 3 miles thick under the oceans.
falseThe Earth's crust is quite variable in density and thickness. Some places on the ocean floors it is many miles thinner than on land.
