On the cross-section, find the transition from continental crust to oceanic crust of the North American continent. At approximately what mile along the cross section (find by hovering the mouse cursor over the cross-section) are the transitions (Use what you know about plate thickness. The actual sea level line does not necessarily tell you where the edge of the continental crust is) ?
