What is the thinest part of the earths crust under the ocean called?
The thinnest part of the Earth's crust under the ocean is called the oceanic crust. It typically ranges from about 5 to 10 kilometers thick, making it significantly thinner than continental crust, which can exceed 30 kilometers in thickness. The oceanic crust is primarily composed of basalt and is formed at mid-ocean ridges through volcanic activity.
