Steps. 1  1. Perform major pruning during the dormant season. The ideal time to prune a crabapple tree is late winter or in the cold days of early spring, before leaves appear. 2  2. Remove suckers.

The upper crust is 12.5 km thick in crust with an average total thickness of 40 km (ref. 3). If the upper crust is the product of 14% melting, the corresponding residue would be 77 km thick, resulting in a total crustal thickness of 100 km, including the middle crust.
The crust is the outer hard layer of the Earth, and is less than 1% of Earth's volume. The crust is made up of different types of rocks; igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.Below the crust is the mantle. The upper part of the mantle is made up of Peridotite, a rock denser than rocks common in the crust.The crust and the upper mantle make up the Lithosphere. The lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates that can move.he upper part of the mantle is made up of Peridotite, a rock denser than rocks common in the crust.
