Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the options listed (type of crust, deformation, erosion, and deposition or burial by volcanic rocks) can influence the thickness of the Earth's crust. Continental crust is generally thicker than oceanic crust. Deformation processes like compression can thicken the crust, while stretching can thin it. Erosion can remove material from the crust, potentially thinning it, and deposition, including the burial by volcanic rocks, can add to the crust, increasing its thickness.
