How do Oceanic crust and Continental crust vary?
Oceanic crust is thin and composed mostly of dense basaltic rock.Continental crust is thick and composed mostly of light granitic rock.
What are two difference between the continental crust and the oceanic?
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
What are three differences between oceanic and continental crust?
Continental crust is mostly composed out of granite, oceanic crust out of basalt.Continental crust is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust.
What are two differences between the continental crust and oceanic crust?
The continental crust is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust. Oceanic crust is younger and primarily composed of basalt, while continental crust is older and made up of a variety of rock types, including granite and sedimentary rocks.
The continental crust is what?
Composed mostly of granite, the continental crust is the layer of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks which forms the continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores, known as continental shelves

What is the composition of ocean crust?
It is mostly composed of basalt, and few other mineral types. It is made mostly of igneous rock, same with continental crust.
What are the three differences between oceanic and Continental crust?
CONTINENTAL CRUST is 35km of thickness and oceanic is 7 km. i hope that helped
How do continental crust differ from oceanic?
Continental crust is predominantly composed mostly of rock of a granitic composition, higher in silica and aluminum, with layers of sedimentary rock above. Oceanic crust is predominantly basaltic (higher in iron and magnesium), darker, thinner, more dense, and formed from rapid cooling of lava.
Oceanic crust is than continental crust.?
younger
