Thin as continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust.
The part that is dry land is about 25 miles thick.
The lithosphere is the part of the Earth's structure that is approximately 100 km thick. It consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle and is divided into tectonic plates.
the mantle, which contains the lithosphere, asthenosphere and the mesosphere
The Moon's crust is generally thinner than Earth's crust. The Moon's crust is estimated to be roughly 30 to 40 kilometers thick, while Earth's crust is on average about 40 kilometers thick but can be much thicker in some areas like continental crust.
CRUST MANTLE CORE The Earth's outermost surface is called the crust. The crust is typically about 25 miles thick beneath continents, and about 6.5 miles thick beneath oceans. The crust is relatively light and brittle. Most earthquakes occur within the crust. The crust in this image is much smaller in the real earth!
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
one and a half miles thick
yes. Earths crust is 20 miles thick and the moon"s crust is 40 miles thick.
The continental crust is about 25 to 70 kilometers thick. The average is about 50 kilometers.
The part that is dry land is about 25 miles thick.
the crust is the thickness of earths layers
The mantle
The Earth's outermost layer of hard brittle rock is called the crust. The crust is typically about 23 miles thick beneath continents, and about 6.5 miles thick beneath oceans. The crust is relatively light and brittle compared to other Earth layers. Most earthquakes occur within the crust.
it's so thick because there is more rock and dart.
The continental crust, (where all the land is) is generally around 30 km (20 mi) to 50 km (30 mi) thick. The oceanic crust (the bottom of the sea) is roughly 5 km (3 mi) to 10 km (6 mi) thick.
The crust is about 40 kilometers thick in many places. The crust is the coldest layer of all the layers of earth. The crust makes up less than 1% of the earths mass. The crust is mainly made up of silicon,aluminum,calcium,sodium, and potassium.
The lithosphere is the part of the Earth's structure that is approximately 100 km thick. It consists of the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle and is divided into tectonic plates.
