Which is denser Oceanic Crust or Continental Crust?
Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust because it is composed of denser rocks like basalt and gabbro, while continental crust is made up of lighter rocks like granite and sedimentary rocks. This density difference is due to the composition and thickness of each type of crust.

Is the earth's crust thicker under the ocean?
Oceanic crust is thinner and denser than continental crust.
What part is the thinner and denser part of the Earth's crust?
The thinner and denser part of the Earth's crust is the oceanic crust found beneath the oceans. It is typically around 5-10 km thick, compared to the continental crust which is around 20-70 km thick. The oceanic crust is denser due to its composition of basaltic rocks.
