Choose the correct statement about the Earth's crust.

Question

The Earth's crust is the thickest layer.

The Earth's crust is around 200 km deep.

Most of the Earth's crust is only 6 km deep.

The Earth's crust is thin and could be compared to an eggshell.

Answer 1

The correct statement about the Earth's crust is:

The Earth's crust is thin and could be compared to an eggshell.

While the Earth's crust varies in thickness, it is generally much thinner than the other layers of the Earth, with oceanic crust averaging about 5-10 km and continental crust averaging about 30-50 km. This comparison to an eggshell illustrates its relatively thin nature compared to the overall structure of the Earth.
