It consists of two types: continental crust and oceanic crust. Continental Crust is thicker but less dense, while Oceanic Crust is thinner and more dense. The crust floats on the mantle, which is the thickest layer of Earth. The mantle has convection currents that form due to the heat rising from the Earth's core. These convection currents cause the crust to move in many directions.
