It is the outermost layer of the earth's surface. The Earth’s crust is its lightest, most buoyant rock layer. Continental crust covers 41% of the Earth’s surface, though a quarter of that area is under the oceans. The continental crust is 20 to 80 kilometers thick. Its rocks hold four billion years of Earth history. The remainder of the Earth is covered by oceanic crust. The crust is made of relatively light elements, especially silica, aluminum and oxygen. It’s also highly variable in its thickness. crust is made of relatively light elements, especially silica, aluminum and oxygen. It’s also highly variable in its thickness.

What do historians sometimes call eastern europe?

weeeeeb [17]

Historians sometimes call Easter Europe the 'The Zone of Political Change'.

This is usually done in the context of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. During this time, Western Europe was allied with the United States and was known for capitalistic economics and their NATO membership.

However, countries in Eastern Europe, such as Poland, Hungary etc were allied with the Soviet Union. They were known for their allegiance to the Communist cause.

By the 1980s and 1990s, there was local dissent rising in these countries against Soviet Union and it was increasingly referred to as the Zone of Political change.
