Oceanic crust is significantly denser.
Continental crust is mostly composed out of granite, oceanic crust out of basalt.Continental crust is thicker and less dense than oceanic crust.
The name of the crust beneath the oceans is called "oceanic crust." It is thinner and younger than continental crust and primarily composed of basaltic rocks.
CONTINENTAL CRUST is 35km of thickness and oceanic is 7 km. i hope that helped
There are two types of crust's. I dont know which one you are talking about, but it is probably the continental crust. The other type of crust is the Oceanic crust. The first continental crust is about 4-7 miles (6-11 km) thick and mainly consists of heavy rocks, like basalt. The Continental crust is thicker than the Oceanic crust, about 19 miles(30 km) thick. It is mainly made up of light material like granite.

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

The youngest parts of the Earth's crust are found in the oceanic crust. This crust is continuously being created at the mid-oceanic ridges.

Continental crust is far older than oceanic crust.
It is not. The oceanic crust is thinner than the continental crust!
A subduction zone is the plate boundary where old and heavy oceanic crust sinks into the mantle. At subduction zones, oceanic crust is forced beneath another tectonic plate, typically a continental plate, due to differences in density. This process can lead to the formation of deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs on the overriding plate.
