No.
Oceanic crust is about 5km to 10km thick.
Continental crust is about 30km to 50km thick.
On average, it is much thicker than oceanic crust.
The continental crust because it is thicker than the oceanic crust
No, in fact it is the opposite. The continental crust is thicker and less dense than the oceanic crust.
Continental crust is mostly composed out of granite, oceanic crust out of basalt.Continental crust is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust.
No, the oceanic crust is denser. That's why the land areas "float" so much higher than the ocean bedrock.
i believe the continental(granatic)crust is thicker than oceanic(basaltic)crust but i could be wrong
Oceanic crust is thinner and denser than continental crust.
Continental crust, on average, is much thicker than oceanic crust. Because of the principles of isostacy and buoyancy, the continental crust will protrude more deeply into the asthenosphere than oceanic crust.
Continental crust is much thicker than oceanic crust. However, continental crust is denser and will therefore sink in subduction zones.
CONTINENTAL CRUST is 35km of thickness and oceanic is 7 km. i hope that helped
Two differences are that the oceanic crust is more dense than continental, and continental crust is composed mostly of granite, while oceanic is mostly basalt
The continental crust is lighter, older, and generally thicker than the oceanic crust.
