The Earth's crust is about 40 km thick on average. It is made up of solid rock and is divided into two types: the continental crust, which is thicker but less dense than the oceanic crust.

Which atmosphere layer is the thinnest at 12 km thick?

The thinnest layer of Earth's atmosphere is the exosphere, which extends from about 600 kilometers above sea level to about 10,000 kilometers. However, if you are referring to the layer that is approximately 12 kilometers thick, that would be the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where weather occurs. The troposphere varies in thickness, being thicker at the equator and thinner at the poles, but on average, it is around 12 kilometers thick.
