What is the compition for the crust?
Crust is made up of mainly granite, a felsic rock wit a lower density than basalt, what makes up the ocean's crust, thus why the continental crust rises up compared to ocean crust.
What is the lower crust made up of?
The lower crust is primarily made up of igneous rocks such as gabbro and basalt. It is denser and more mafic (rich in magnesium and iron) compared to the upper crust. The lower crust is also hotter and more ductile than the upper crust.
What do you call the crust making up the continents?
The crust that makes up the continents, or land masses on Earth is called continental crust. The crust that makes up the oceans is called oceanic crust.

What layer is made up of solid rock?
The solid rock layer of the Earth is known as the crust, which is the outermost layer of the planet. The crust is divided into two types: continental crust, which makes up the continents, and oceanic crust, which makes up the ocean floors. The thickness of the crust can vary, with continental crust being thicker than oceanic crust.
What main mineral makes up the continental crust?
The main mineral that makes up the continental crust is feldspar. It is one of the most abundant minerals in the Earth's crust and is commonly found in granite and other rocks that make up the continental crust.
What layer of earth makes up the plates?
the crust + lithosphere earth's crust: crust crust continental crust lithosphere crust continental and oceanic crust mantle asthenosphere mantle lower mantle mantle outer core outer core inner core inner core
What is it called when granite makes up the continental crust?
