The earth's crust is like an egg because the eath has a mantle (sort of like a shell)
and an egg has a shell as well. Try this get a cup get an egg pour vineger and or
salt in to the cup then drop the egg in the cup. Wait 2 or 3 days and after those 3 days the egg will feel soft.
The core.
The earths crust is a part of the outermost layer.
Silicon is a mixture of the minerals of the earths crust. so.... silicon isn't something from the earths crust. -thanks for your question.
thinner and denser
My dick...
The egg is like a model of the layers of the Earth. (see layers of the ... The egg shell will represent the thin outer layer of the Earth called the crust.
The core.
Earths crust is thicker and there is on more layer on earth than there is in an egg though so an egg wouldnt be a good model or so for the world we know as Earth.

The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.

Tectonic Plates
oceanic crust is made of basalt while continental crust is made of silica rich rocks like granite.
how wide is the earths crust
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.
