A. Duerksen. The earth's crust is about 24 km thick beneath the California coast line, and the thickness increases inland until it is 50 km at a point 350 km from the coast line. It has been deduced also that the deposits in the Central Valley increase in density rapidly with depth so that at depths of a few kilometers there is no appreciable density contrast with the basement rocks.
