2 characteristics of the crust- the crust is composed of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock. It is the coolest layer for it is the first and farthest layer from the core.

What are 2 differences about the cotineantal and oceanic crust?

The two main differences between continental and oceanic crust are their composition and thickness. Continental crust is primarily made up of granitic rocks, which are less dense than the basaltic rocks that make up oceanic crust. Additionally, continental crust is much thicker, averaging around 35 km thick, compared to oceanic crust, which is typically around 7 km thick. These differences in composition and thickness contribute to the contrasting properties and behaviors of continental and oceanic crust in geological processes.
