    Answer:

    “Crust” refers to a

    terrestrial planet’s outermost surface.

    In general, the Earth’s crust is divided into

    older, thicker continental crust and younger, denser oceanic crust.

    …

    The thin, 40-kilometer (25-mile) deep crust of our planet — just

    1 per cent of Earth’s mass — contains all known universe existence.

    Explanation:

    Continental crust is thicker, 22 miles (35 km) on average and less dense than oceanic crust, which accounts for its mean surface elevation of about 3 miles (4.8 km) above that of the ocean floor (Archimedes’ principle). Continental crust is more complex than oceanic crust…
