  • The earth is made up of several different layers. The
    outer layer is known as the crust and is made of solid
    rock. The crust ranges from 5 to 70 km in depth and is
    split into a number of pieces known as plates. Some
    plates have land on top of them - this is known as
    continental crust. Others have oceans on top and are
    known as oceanic crust. The point where plates meet
    is called a plate boundary.
