SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -“Crust” describes the outermost shell of a terrestrial planet. Our planet’s thin, 40-kilometer (25-mile) deep crust-just 1% of Earth’s mass-contains all known life in the universe. Earth has three layers: the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals.

Detailed explanation-2: -The earth is made up of three different layers: the crust, the mantle and the core. This is the outside layer of the earth and is made of solid rock, mostly basalt and granite. There are two types of crust; oceanic and continental. Oceanic crust is denser and thinner and mainly composed of basalt.

Detailed explanation-3: -The solid crust or the hard top layer of the earth is called the lithosphere. The lithosphere is an irregular surface with various landforms such as mountains, plateaus, plains, valleys, etc.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Earth’s crust is hard and rigid. It is the Earth’s outermost and thinnest layer.

Detailed explanation-6: -The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth. The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth’s structure.
