The Earth's crust is separated into different plates. These plate move causing plate tectonics, which is the movement of Earth's crust. Also, the plates have boundaries at the end of each plate.
There are three types of plate boundaries...
1. Divergent- where two plates are moving away from each other forming a gap in the crust in which magma rises and hardens forming new crust.
2. Convergent- Where two plates are coming into one another and one is forced down into the mantle.
3. Transform- Where no crust is destroyed/created because the two plates just slide past each other.
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.

continental crust
Yes, the Earth's crust sits on the upper mantle and is not directly connected to the Earth's core. The core is composed of molten iron and nickel, while the crust is a rocky outer layer that is separated from the core by the mantle.
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
There 4 major divisions within the Earths surface: Inner core, outer core, mantle and the crust. The crust and mantle however are separated by a Moho plane.
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
