The crust has a diameter of 2867 km.
The Earth is not getting bigger in diameter because the movement of tectonic plates involves both the creation and destruction of crust. While some plates may be moving apart at mid-ocean ridges, where new crust is formed, other plates are colliding and subducting, leading to the recycling of crust back into the mantle. This balance between creation and destruction keeps the Earth's size relatively constant over geological time.
The outermost layer, called the crust, is the thinnest layer of the earth.
The Crust
The Earth's crust is divided into continental crust and oceanic crust. Underneath the crust and attached to it is the uppermost brittle mantle, which, together with the crust is referred to as the lithosphere.
The crust of the Earth varies from 5-70 km thick which when compared to the total radius of the Earth (6,360 km) is very small, accounting for between 0.07 and 1.1% of Earth's total radius. To put that into context, if the Earth was the size of a football (soccer ball), the oceanic crust would be the same thickness as one human hair (70 micrometres).
the simple answer is this, they are all found it the earths crust or diameter
The depth of Earth's crust is significantly smaller compared to the rest of the Earth, like the thickness of an apple peel compared to the size of the whole apple. The Earth's crust is only about 1% of the Earth's total diameter.
To find the area of the bottom of a pie dish with a 15-inch diameter, you can use the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr². The radius is half the diameter, so the radius is 7.5 inches. Therefore, the area is A = π(7.5)², which is approximately 176.71 square inches. Thus, it would take about 176.71 square inches of crust to cover the bottom of the pie dish.

18 inches diameter 8 slices note: new york pizza has crust, sauce and cheese - anything else is EXTRA $2.46 a slice
I think the answer is thin; the crust is between 3 and 30 miles thick; less than 1% of the diameter of the Earth.
i want the crust i want the crust i want the crusty crust i want the crust
The earth's crust is called the crust because it the outer surface of the earth like the crust of pizza.
crust on a pizza (thin & thick) or the earth's crust
Continental crust.
The outermost layer, called the crust, is the thinnest layer of the earth.
The majority of the crust is oceanic crust, basaltic in nature.
