The Earth's crust and the very top of the mantle combined is called the lithosphere. It is the rigid outermost part of the Earth.
Earths mantle is less dense and very hot. The mantle is 2885km thick.
With a very sizable iron core and a (by comparison) wafer-thin crust, I doubt that the earth's crust even approximates a full percentage point.
The mantle is the largest layer in the Earth's interior.
Earth is made up of: the inner core, the outer core, the mantle, and the crust. The crust of the earth, or the outer rocky layer, is divided between oceanic crust and continental crust. These crusts float atop the mantle, which is made up of very hot molten rock. All of the continents, including Australia, are constantly moving, or floating.
The crust is the outermost layer of the Earth, which is thin and solid. It is divided into continental crust (underneath land) and oceanic crust (underneath oceans). In contrast, the mantle is the layer beneath the crust and is primarily composed of solid rock that flows slowly over long periods of time.
The very top of Earth's mantle is known as the lithosphere. It is a rigid layer that consists of both the uppermost part of the mantle and the crust above it. The lithosphere is broken into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
The Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle together form the lithosphere. The lithosphere is a rigid outer layer of the Earth that is divided into tectonic plates which float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them.
The crust and the very top of the mantle make up the lithosphere, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. The lithosphere is divided into several tectonic plates that move and interact with each other at plate boundaries.

The continents "float" on the liquid mantle of the Earth because the metals that make up the mantle are very dense. The continents move when magma is pushed through the crust of the Earth in places like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

The mantle is the largest layer in the Earth's interior.
The lithosphere includes the crust and the very top of the mantle. The lithosphere is cool and brittle.
The earths mantle is less dense and it's very hot.
