The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
An endoskeleton (internal skeleton) is a charateristic of vertebrate animals, including humans.
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
A proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It carries a positive electric charge.
Tertiary consumers eat primary consumers and secondary consumers and are typically carnivorous predators. Tertiary consumers may also be omnivores. Examples include wolves, sharks, and human beings.
