∙ 12y agoThe crust is the outermost layer of the earth in which we live on. The mantle is the completely liquid layer just under the core.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoIt has a different composition. Oceanic crust is composed largely of basalt while continental crust is made largely of granite. Both of these are less dense than the peridotite that makes up much of the mantle.
Wiki User
