What do you call the crust making up the continents?
The crust that makes up the continents, or land masses on Earth is called continental crust. The crust that makes up the oceans is called oceanic crust.
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
Why is the stress the earths crust?
The earth's crust is not stress
What are large chunks of earths crust called?
Large chunks of Earth's crust are called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and are responsible for movements like earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
What is a large landmass that is part of the earths crust?
continents
Does the earths crust extend deeper below the continents or below the ocean basins?
Earths crust extend deeper below the continents than below the oceans basins (or at least this is what I think).
What is the thickness of the crust at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?

Which earths layer includes the land that make up the continents and land under the ocean?
The layer that includes the land making up continents and the land under the ocean is the crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth's surface. It is divided into continental crust, which forms the continents, and oceanic crust, which lies beneath the oceans.
What is the outer layer of the earth called?
The crust is the outer or surface layer of the planet.
What is the theory of formation and movement of the plates that cover the earths surface?
the movement and formation of the plates or continents is caused by conduction under the crust.
