Question

Distinguish between continental crust and oceanic crust

Answer 1

Answer:

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 continents are at a higher elevation than the ocean floor. ... The oceanic crust is formed by partial melting of the mantle at mid-ocean ridges

Answer 2

the oceanic crust is much denser than the continental one..this is why the continents are at higher elevation than of the oceanic crust..the oceanic crust is formed by slight melting if the mantle
