Oceanic crust and continental crust are the two kind of earth's crust.
Explanation:
- Continental crust is “granitic” in composition. Rocks of the continental crust are also known as “sial” rocks. Sial stands for silicate and aluminium, as this region is mostly consisted of these minerals.
- Oceanic crust is “basaltic” in composition, basalts are also known as "sima" rocks. Sima stands for silicate and magnesium, as these minerals are mostly found in oceanic crust.
