The crust can be thicker than 80 kilometers in some spots, less than one kilometer in others. Underneath it is the mantle, a layer of rock some 2700 kilometers thick that accounts for the bulk of the Earth.The crust is primarily made of granite and basalt while the mantle beneath is made of peridotite.ceanic crust covers about 60 percent of the Earth's surface. Oceanic crust is thin and youngâno more than about 20 km thick and no older than about 180 million years. Everything older has been pulled underneath the continents by subduction.
