Which is thicker continental crust oceanic crust?
Continental crust is the thicker of the two: it extends far beneath and above the Oceanic crust.
What type of crust is thicker Continental or Oceanic?
Continental crust is generally thicker than oceanic crust. Continental crust can be up to 70 km thick, while oceanic crust is usually around 5-10 km thick.
Is earth's continental crust thicker or thinner than the oceanic crust?
On average, it is much thicker than oceanic crust.
Which type of crust is thicker oceanic crust or continental crust?
Continental crust is typically thicker than oceanic crust. Continental crust can range from around 20 to 70 kilometers thick, whereas oceanic crust is generally much thinner, typically ranging from 5 to 10 kilometers in thickness.
What is the difference of continental crust and oceanic crust?
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

Does the continental or the oceanic crust extend farther into the mantle?
The continental crust because it is thicker than the oceanic crust
What is difference of the continental crust and the oceanic crust?
Continental crust is thicker but less dense, and oceanic crust is thinner but more dense, making it heavier.
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 is the thickest the continental or oceanic?
i believe the continental(granatic)crust is thicker than oceanic(basaltic)crust but i could be wrong

Oceanic crust is lighter than the continental crust?
No, the oceanic crust is denser. That's why the land areas "float" so much higher than the ocean bedrock.
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
