Question

differentiate between continental and oceanic crust

Answer 1

Layers that are less dense, such as the crust, float on layers that are denser, such as the mantle. Both oceanic crust and continental crust are less dense than the mantle, but oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. This is partly why the continental crust tends to be much older than the oceanic kind, and rocks found on this kind of crust are often the oldest in the world are at a higher elevation than the ocean floor.Oceanic crust consists of basalt rock and it makes up the floor of the oceans and seas. The density of oceanic crust is approximately 3.0 g/cm^3. Continental crust consists of granite rock and lies beneath the continents. It is less dense than oceanic crust
