GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Earth’s Crust is like the skin of an apple. It is very thin in comparison to the other three layers. The crust is only about 3-5 miles (8 kilometers) thick under the oceans(oceanic crust) and about 25 miles (32 kilometers) thick under the continents (continental crust).

Detailed explanation-2: -Crust. The whole of the outside of the Earth is covered in a thin layer of cool, solid rock called the crust.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Earth is covered by two kinds of crust-continental and oceanic. The thinner oceanic crust is normally a little more than four miles thick, while the thicker continental crust is often as much as 25 miles thick. Continental crust is also much less dense than its oceanic counterpart.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mantle is the mostly-solid bulk of Earth’s interior. The mantle lies between Earth’s dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 2, 900 kilometers (1, 802 miles) thick, and makes up a whopping 84% of Earth’s total volume.
