Structure of Earth
... Earth’s outermost layer is the crust, the rigid rock of the continents and ocean floors. The ocean floor crust is only 5–7 km thick, but is more dense than the continental sections. It is generally high in magnesium, calcium, and iron, but lower in silicon. The crust in the continents is 30–100 km t ...
