At the mid-ocean ridges where sea floor spreading occurs. The two plates separate and molten rock (basaltic magma) comes up from the mantle to "fill the gap" and creates new crust (oceanic lithosphere)
Where volcanoes are, because when they errupt the lava eventually get hard and creates something new.
The crust is still being formed at places that are geologically active.
The 'Ring of Fire', The Mid Atlantic Ridge etc
Drill cores from the ocean floor were dated and found to be very young compared to the age of the earth. This means the crust had to be formed recently, which can be explained by creation of crust at a spreading center.
At oceanic spreading centres where new oceanic crust is being formed. Also at areas of recent volcanism.
Gulfs are found around the edges of oceans. They are usually formed by movements of tectonic plates under Earth's crust.
The thinnest layer of the Earth's crust can be found underwater.
Yes it is. It's called an Alkaline Earth metal because they can be found in the Earth's crust (The word Alkali means Base). When they are found in the Earth's crust, they aren't in an element form but they are widely spread in rock structures.
Metals are usually found in the Earth's crust, in the form of ores.

The youngest parts of the Earth's crust are found in the oceanic crust. This crust is continuously being created at the mid-oceanic ridges.

coal, metal and gemstones are the main 3 things found in the Earth's crust.

Geothermal activity has revealed new characteristics of Earth's crust near Lake Myvatn, Iceland. In places like Iceland, new research has shown volcanoes and hot springs forming as the result of activity between the crust and the mantle.
