It is beneath the sea an is called a ocean crust. This is the thinnest point because the ocean water is so dense (heavy) it flattens the crust (because there's millions and millions of gallons of water...... That's heavy!!!) that's why there are oil rigs at sea because it's only around 5 kilometres thick, unlike on land it's around 50 kilometres thick!!!

∙ 12y agoThe thinnest point of the Earth's crust is typically found at oceanic ridges, where tectonic plates are moving apart and new crust is being formed through volcanic activity. These areas can have crust as thin as 5-10 kilometers.
The thinnest layer of the Earth's crust is the oceanic crust, which is approximately 5-10 kilometers thick.
The crust, more specifically the lithosphere.
The Earth's crust is the thinnest layer, ranging from about 5-70 km thick. The average density of the Earth's crust is around 2.7-3.0 g/cm³.
The Earth's crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, and it is the thinnest layer compared to the mantle and core. It is divided into oceanic crust, which is thinner and denser, and continental crust, which is thicker and less dense.
The Earth's crust is thinnest on land at divergent plate boundaries, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge or East African Rift. These are areas where tectonic plates are moving away from each other, causing the crust to stretch and thin.
The earth thinnest layer is the crust.

The crust is the thinnest part on the Earth.
The thinnest layer of the Earth's crust is the oceanic crust, which is approximately 5-10 kilometers thick.
The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth.
No. The mantle is below the crust (what we live on), which is the thinnest layer of the earth.
The crust, more specifically the lithosphere.
The crust is the thinnest, followed by the outer core, inner core, and the mantle is the thickest.
The thinnest layer of Earth is the Lithosphere, also commonly called the crust.
The outermost layer, called the crust, is the thinnest layer of the earth.
