Igneous and sedimentary rock. Or basalt.
Both oceanic and continental crusts consist primarily of igneous rock although they both contain some sedimentary rock. Oceanic crust is composed mainly of basaltic rock, while continental crust is composed of granitic rock.
Continental plates are thicker and less dense. Continental plates are mainly granitic in composition. Oceanic plates are mainly basaltic in composition. The rock of continental plates is on average, much older than the rock of the oceanic plates. The oceanic plate underlies the oceans, and the continental plate makes up the land masses. Continental plates do not subduct at convergent plate boundaries.

Granitic rock is a material that is primarily found in continental crust. It is composed of minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica, and is associated with the lighter composition characteristic of continental crust compared to oceanic crust.
Oceanic crust is composed mainly of basaltic rock, while continental crust is made up of a variety of rocks such as granite, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. Both contain minerals like quartz, feldspar, and mica, but the proportions and types of minerals differ between the two crust types.

Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust.
Continental lithosphere is thicker and less dense than oceanic lithosphere. Continental crust is primarily composed of granitic rock while oceanic crust is composed primarily of basaltic rock.

The two types of crustal material are continental crust and oceanic crust. Continental crust is thicker and less dense, composed mainly of granite rocks, while oceanic crust is thinner and denser, made up primarily of basalt rocks.
Yesshhh :)

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
Both oceanic and continental crust are composed primarily of igneous rocks, but they have different overall compositions. Oceanic crust is primarily made up of basalt, which is a type of volcanic rock, while continental crust is predominantly composed of granite, a type of intrusive igneous rock. Additionally, continental crust is generally thicker and less dense than oceanic crust.
The material they are made of.
