As new oceanic crust is being made in one area older crust is being subducted, (pushed or pulled down), in another area, so Earth stays about the same size.
100 % of Earth's crust is composed of elements in the form of varying minerals and other matter!
Silicon is abundant in the Earth's crust and combines with oxygen to form rocks and minerals, such as quartz and feldspar.
The continents are part of Earth's outermost layer called the crust. The crust is divided into large plates, known as tectonic plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle to form the Earth's surface.
The lithosphere is composed of the uppermost part of the mantle and the Earth's crust. The crust is divided into oceanic and continental crust, which rests on the more rigid upper mantle. This combination forms the lithosphere, which is responsible for the tectonic plate movements on Earth's surface.
The Earth some times oceanic crust is formed by the process of mid oceanic ridges. this process occurs when magma comes from the mantle and cool below oceanic body & form new crust.
Metals are usually found in the Earth's crust, in the form of ores.
Yes it does.
the crust's plates shift until they have reached their form

no it doesnt
Oil formation in the Earth's crust typically takes millions of years.

The Earth's surface will change its shape and form.
Diamonds typically take millions to billions of years to form in the Earth's crust under high pressure and temperature conditions.
An earthquake is a violent disturbance in the Earth's crust.
