The thinnest layer of the Earth is the crust, which is divided into the continental crust (on land) and the oceanic crust (under the ocean). The thickness of the crust varies, with the oceanic crust being thinner (about 5-10 km) than the continental crust (about 20-70 km).
The crust not under the ocean is called continental crust. It is thicker and less dense compared to oceanic crust and forms the landmasses on Earth's surface.
almost no silica in ocean water but most of its the earths crust.
The crust contains the ocean floor and also the continents on Earth.
Most of Earth's new crust is found along mid-ocean ridges, underwater mountain ranges where tectonic plates are moving apart. This is where magma rises from the mantle to create new crust through volcanic activity.

Earth's thinnest layer is the crust, which is found on the outermost part of the planet. It is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid mantle below. The crust is thinnest under the ocean, averaging around 5-10 kilometers thick, while being thicker under continents, averaging around 30-50 kilometers thick.
Crust under the oceans is called oceanic crust.
Sodium is found in the Earths crust!! But i don't know about the ocean!! And Sodium is salt!!
The earths crust its 5-70km deep in the ocean and upto 100km deep at mountain ranges. At certain areas, the crust is unstable due to moving plate tectonics.

Earths crust extend deeper below the continents than below the oceans basins (or at least this is what I think).
The crust beneath the ocean is called oceanic crust. It is thinner and younger than continental crust, primarily composed of basaltic rock formed at mid-ocean ridges through volcanic activity.
the earths crust is 25 miles beneath the continents and 6.5 miles beneath the ocean
