Answer 1

False. The Earth's crust is generally thinner under the oceans (oceanic crust) compared to the continents (continental crust). Oceanic crust is typically about 5-10 kilometers thick, while continental crust can be about 30-50 kilometers thick, and in some mountainous regions, it can be even thicker.
