Question

the thickness of The crust below the continents is less as compared to Ocean give scientific reason

Answer 1

Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance. 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 continents are at a higher elevation than the ocean floor. Because continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust it floats higher on the mantle . The mantle, oceanic crust and continental crust have different densities because they are made of different kinds of rock with different
