Thin
The depth of the Earth's crust is relatively small compared to the size of the entire Earth. The Earth's crust is approximately 5-70 km thick, whereas the Earth's radius is about 6371 km. This means the crust is just a fraction of the Earth's total size.
plate tectonics
Fault.
There has been a change in the shape of earth crust due to this terrible earthquake caused by displacement over Asian tectonic plates. This has resulted in 8 feet around/ over the epicentre. Such a huge change in shape of earth's crust, resulting change in earth's momentum/ GD2 around Sun; resulting our day is now shorter by fraction of micro-second!

Large-scale folding of the earth's crust may be caused by what?
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the earth's crust.
Thin
The Earths crust is about 6miles thick and it covers the entire earth even at the bottom of oceans. The crust is only the beginning of the Earth and underneath is the mantle, outer layer and inner core.
The temperature increases with increasing depth within Earth's crust.
An earthquake is a violent disturbance in the Earth's crust.

Thinning in the Earth's crust can be caused by processes such as rifting, volcanic activity, and tectonic plate movement. These processes can result in the stretching and pulling apart of the crust, leading to thinning in certain areas.
The depth of the Earth's crust is relatively small compared to the size of the entire Earth. The Earth's crust is approximately 5-70 km thick, whereas the Earth's radius is about 6371 km. This means the crust is just a fraction of the Earth's total size.
The thin outer layer of Earth that covers its entire surface is called the crust. It is made up of solid rock and is the Earth's thinnest layer. The crust is divided into several large and small tectonic plates that float on the semi-liquid mantle beneath them.
