Earths crust is the outer shell of our planet. The Earth has two types of crust. Continental crust contains igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks that covers the continents. Oceanic crust contains igneous basalt rocks derived from the upper mantle that cover the all the ocean floors. The igneous rocks are covered with sediments carried into the oceans from large rivers like the Amazon and Mississippi Rivers.

What is the crust of the earth's interior made of?
The Earth's crust is on the exterior, not the interior; that is why it is called the crust. It is on the outside. It is made mostly of rock, of various kinds. The rock of the crust is on average less dense than the rock of the mantle, which lies beneath the crust.
What are the two types of lithoperic crust?
The two types of lithospheric crust are continental crust, which is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust, and oceanic crust, which is thinner and more dense than continental crust.
What are the two types of crust that make up the outermost layer of the earth?

What are the two crusts found on earth?
The earth's crust is comprised of the oceanic crust and the continental crust. Bread has the crunchy and the sofy crust.
What are the two types of crust and which rocks make up each crust?
there are two types of crust such as the oceanic crust and the continental crust, the oceanic crust is thinner and more dense than the continental crust and is constantly being recycled via subduction upon collisions with Continental crust, and creating at mid-ocean ridges. x

What are 2 kinds of crust that a tectonic plate may contain?
Tectonic plates can have either continental crust, which is thicker and less dense, or oceanic crust, which is thinner and denser. These two types of crust differ in composition, thickness, and density, and interact with each other at plate boundaries.
What are two kinds of mountains?
Two kinds of mountains are volcanic mountains, which form from volcanic activity, and fold mountains, which form from tectonic plate collisions causing the Earth's crust to fold and create mountain ranges.
What are two kinds of crust involved in a subduction zone?
Both continental and oceanic crusts are used in the process of subduction, unless you are talking about see floor spreading, then only oceanic crust is used
Is it a pie if it hasn't got a top crust?
Yes. Many kinds of pie, like chocolate cream, have no top crust.
What two types of crust are involved at this type of convergent boundary?
