earths crust includes ocean floors and
Earth's crust is composed of the continents and the ocean floor.
It occurs in the oceanic crust!!!
the outer layer of earth ; includes continents,oceans and ocean floor
crust
The oceanic crust composed of sima, mafic rocks and basalt. This is the top layer of the lithosphere which is found in the ocean floor.
The ocean ridge.
The floor of heavier rock under the oceans is primarily composed of basalt. Basalt forms from volcanic activity and makes up the majority of the oceanic crust.
A geologist studies the Earth's crust, mantle, continents, and ocean floor. They investigate the composition, structure, and processes of these layers to understand Earth's history and dynamics. Geologists also examine natural resources and environmental implications related to these components.
The Earth's crust can vary in thickness, but on average it is about 5-70 kilometers (3-44 miles) thick. However, it can be much thicker under mountain ranges and thinner under the ocean floor.
The Earth's lithosphere, which includes the crust and the uppermost part of the mantle, contains both the highest mountains (on the crust) and the deepest oceans (in the oceanic crust). The lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below.
The Earths crust is about 6miles thick and it covers the entire earth even at the bottom of oceans. The crust is only the beginning of the Earth and underneath is the mantle, outer layer and inner core.
Yes, there are two types of crust on the Earth, oceanic and continental. The crust under the oceans is, of course, oceanic crust which has more mass than continental crust. Each type is formed from plates of different size and shape.
