The crust is the outermost layer, generally differentiated into continental crust (thicker, granitic composition, average density $\approx 2.7 \text{ g/cm}^3$) and oceanic crust (thinner, basaltic composition, average density $\approx 3.0 \text{ g/cm}^3$). The lithosphere comprises the crust and the uppermost, rigid portion of the mantle. Its mechanical behavior is best described by the principles of [viscoelastic fractality](/entries/viscoelastic-fracta…
