Mount Everest
Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust.
Within the Earth, the focal point of the energy released in an earthquake is called the hypocentre or focus. This is where an earthquake actually begins. The place on the Earth's surface directly above this point is known as the epicentre.

The force of changing earth's crust is...... that the earth's crust is a lot thinner
The outermost layer, called the crust, is the thinnest layer of the earth.
The highest point of the Earth's crust is to be found at the top of Mt. Everest which has an elevation of 8,848 metres.
Silicates are the mineral group that make up the highest percentage of Earth's crust, accounting for about 90% of the crust by volume. They are composed of silicon and oxygen, the two most abundant elements in the Earth's crust.

Iron has the highest percentage composition on Earth's crust, making up about 5.6% by weight.

The top of Mount Everest is the highest point on Earth.
The layer that contains the highest mountains and deepest oceans is the Earth's lithosphere. The lithosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface, which includes the Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle. The highest mountains, such as the Himalayas, are formed by tectonic plate collisions, while the deepest oceans, such as the Mariana Trench, are located in the Earth's crust.
the earth
The crust is composed of rock. The rock of the crust is composed of predominately silicate minerals. The element in the crust with the highest percentage is oxygen.
Yes, the Earth's crust has a wide range of melting points depending on the type of rock, but in general, the temperatures required to melt rocks in the crust are higher than the typical surface temperatures of the Earth. The actual temperature of the Earth's crust is generally lower than its melting point.
