Question

why the thickness of the earth's crust is greater in the continents than on the ocean floors?​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is less dense than the material of the Earth's mantle and thus "floats" on top of it. Continental crust is also less dense than oceanic crust, though it is considerably thicker; mostly 35 to 40 km versus the average oceanic thickness of around 7-10 km.
