What type of crust is the earths tectonic plates made up of?
The Earth's tectonic plates are made up of the lithosphere, which consists of the crust and the upper part of the mantle. The crust is primarily composed of solid rock made up of elements such as oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and iron.
Earths crust is mostly made of what iron oxygen or silicon?
Earth's crust is mostly made up of Silicon and Oxygen
Compared to earths continental crust earths oceanic crust is?
Earth's oceanic crust is thinner, denser, and younger than Earth's continental crust. It is primarily composed of basaltic rock, whereas continental crust is made up of less dense granitic rock. Oceanic crust is constantly being formed at mid-ocean ridges and destroyed at subduction zones.
What makes up the continental crust?
The continental crust is made up of mainly granite and other high-silica rocks. It is less dense than oceanic crust and thicker, ranging from 20 to 70 kilometers in depth. The continental crust also contains various minerals and elements such as aluminum, potassium, and silicon.
Does the earths crust have more silicon or oxygen in it?
The Earth's crust is primarily made up of oxygen (46.6%) and silicon (27.7%), with silicon being the second most abundant element in the crust.

What is earths made up of?
The top part of it is made up of the crust and we are standing on it. Below the crust is the mantle followed by the core which can BURN you up into a billion pieces. But it is the gravity from the centre of Earth that holds you to the crust of Earth
