Best Answer

Physics.

The Earth's crust is made of two basic kinds of rock: SiAl and SiMa (named after the most prevalent elements in them: silicon-aluminium and silicon-magnesium). SiAl rocks, like feldspar, are less dense than SiMa rocks (like basalt) and tend to "float" on them. The continents are mainly SiAl.
