Define Crust

• The rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.
• The upper layer of the earth's mantle in which there is plastic flow and convection occurs
• The outermost solid shell of a planet
• The region of the earth's interior between the crust and the core, believed to consist of hot, dense silicate rock
