उत्तर
The thickness of the continental crust is greater than that of the oceanic crust. The continental crust varies between 35-40 km, while the oceanic crust is only 7-10 km thick. Orogeny (mountain-building processes) further thickens the continental crust over time, contributing to its greater overall thickness.
