The thickest layer of the Earth. The Earth can be divided into four main layers: the solid crust on the outside, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core.

Image source: USGS. CRUST --The thin, outermost layer of the earth is called the crust. It makes up only one percent of the earth's mass. This consists of the continents and ocean basins. The crust has varying thickness, ranging between 35-70 km thick in the continents and 5-10 km thick in the ocean basins. Within the crust, intricate patterns are created when rocks are redistributed and deposited in layers through the geologic processes.
