Is the Moon's crust thinner or thicker than earth?
The Moon's crust is generally thinner than Earth's crust. The Moon's crust is estimated to be roughly 30 to 40 kilometers thick, while Earth's crust is on average about 40 kilometers thick but can be much thicker in some areas like continental crust.
Is it true that earth's plates move a few meters per year?
Not meters, but centimeters. Current plates move at a few centimeters (hundredths of meters) per year. The largest of these movements are not much more than one or two inches.
Where would the thickness of the earths crust be about 40km and where would it be about 8km?
The thickness of the Earth's crust is about 40 km in continental regions, like under mountain ranges. In oceanic regions, such as under the ocean floor, the Earth's crust is much thinner, around 8 km.
How much zirconium is in the earths crust?
Zirconium makes up about 0.016% of the Earth's crust by weight, ranking it 18th in abundance among the elements. It is found in a variety of minerals, including zircon, and is commonly used in nuclear reactors, aerospace applications, and jewelry.

How much of the earths surface is covered by india?

How the oceanic crust move?
The earths crust layer is constantly moving because of the layer beneath it that has all the liquid magma. The magma needs a place to escape because of the pressure it takes on so where does it go, it goes up and pushes on the earths crust to escape. The places it escapes are pretty much where they follow the path of least resistance and that is where the plates of the earth crust meet. The Atlantic ridge which is the second biggest in the world has eruptions all the time constantly added to land to the sea and pushing other plates together. So in short the plates move because the layer beneath it are always on the move as well.
How much of earths crust is made up of oxygen and silcon?
47 % oxygen & 27% silicon.
Which is hotter the sun or the earths crust?
The sun is much hotter than the Earth's crust. The temperature at the Earth's core is estimated to be around 5700 degrees Celsius, whereas the temperature at the surface of the sun is about 5500 degrees Celsius.
Where is oxygen most commonly found in?
under the earths crust in trees and everywhere you can think of pretty much
What is beneath the earths crust that circulates like a conveyor belt?
The mantle is beneath the earth's crust, and it circulates in a process known as mantle convection. This convection is driven by the heat from the Earth's core, causing molten rock to move in a circular motion, much like a conveyor belt.
How wide is the crust?
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.
What infrence did Georges Cuvier make about the earths crust?
o it is not because i am asking who he is ? Not what he does for a living? So it is not the same answer, thank u very much.
Is the Moon's crust thinner or thicker than earth?

What are the remaines of living thing that have been preserved in the earths crust?
Fossils, although technically they are not preserved in the earths crust; the minerals in the bones and pore spaces have been replaced by other harder minerals which take much longer to weather.There are a number of different fossilization processes. See this link :How are Fossils Formed?
