The crust, is the surface of the Earth; therefore on the top.
The above is true, however it is slightly more complicated than this!
Crust is formed at mid ocean ridges where magma rises to the surface as tectonic plates move apart. It is also formed (perhaps counter-intuitively) at destructive plate margins where volcanism occurs and the lava adds to the overlying crust.
Oceanic sediments build up at the boundary of the continental crust as the oceanic slab scrapes against the overlying continental crust as it subducts (this is known as an accretionary prism).
The oceanic crust itself is made of solid rock.
thinner and denser
The Crust
The earth's crust is comprised of the oceanic crust and the continental crust. Bread has the crunchy and the sofy crust.
The continental crust is in the solid phase of matter. It is composed primarily of rocks and minerals, which are solid materials that form the Earth's outer layer. This crust is characterized by its varied composition and thickness, but it remains solid under normal conditions encountered on Earth's surface.
In general the Earth's oceanic crust is thinner then the continental crust
The oceanic crust itself is made of solid rock.
thinner and denser
The part of the Earth's crust that is not covered by ocean water is called the continental crust. It is thicker and less dense than the oceanic crust and primarily makes up the continents.
the Continental crust is thicker
the state of matter for the earth's crust is continental and oceanic.
The outer layers, the continental and oceanic crust.
The Crust
The earth's crust is comprised of the oceanic crust and the continental crust. Bread has the crunchy and the sofy crust.
The two types of crust that cover the Earth's surface are oceanic crust, which is thinner and denser, and continental crust, which is thicker and less dense. Oceanic crust is mainly composed of basalt, while continental crust is primarily composed of granite.
continental crust
There are two types of crust, and they are the oceanic crust and the continental crust. Oceanic crust is thinner yet more dense than continental crust, and continental crust is on average older than oceanic crust :)
