Describe earths crust

Answer 1

The Earth's outermost layer of hard brittle rock is called the crust. The crust is typically about 23 miles thick beneath continents, and about 6.5 miles thick beneath oceans. The crust is relatively light and brittle compared to other Earth layers. Most earthquakes occur within the crust.

Answer 2

Earth's crust is the outermost solid layer of the Earth, varying in thickness from 5-70 km. It is composed of a variety of rocks, minerals, and sediment, and is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath. The crust is where most geological processes and interactions with the biosphere occur.

Answer 3

The crust is the upper layer of the earth. It is where the movement of plates occur due to which earthquakes occur. The Earth's crust is a thin layer of rock, like skin on an apple.

Answer 4

The Earth is made up of 5 layers which include the crust, upper mantle, mantle, outer core, and the inner core. The rocky crust is the outermost layer.

Answer 5

The outer skin of the planet is composed of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock. Basically what you are standing on.

Answer 6

The crust of the Earth is called the crust. The crust in combination with the brittle rock of the uppermost mantle is called the lithosphere.

Answer 7

The earth's crust is made up of sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks.

Answer 8

Thicker then the mantle
