The oceanic crust composed of sima, mafic rocks and basalt. This is the top layer of the lithosphere which is found in the ocean floor.
Earth's crust is composed of the continents and the ocean floor.
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.
What makes the crust unique is that it is the rigid, rocky outer surface of the Earth, composed mostly of thinner under the oceans.
The floor of heavier rock under the oceans is primarily composed of basalt. Basalt forms from volcanic activity and makes up the majority of the oceanic crust.
Oceanic Crust
The layer of Earth that is composed mostly of liquid water and various types of rock crystals such as quartz is the crust. The crust is the outermost layer of Earth and is divided into the continental crust (land) and the oceanic crust (under the oceans). It is where we find a diverse range of minerals and rock formations.
The layer of the Earth which forms the tectonic plates is composed of the crust and uppermost mantle and is called the lithosphere.
the outer space is what is composed of lakes rivers and oceans WRONG. The Hydrosphere is composed of lakes, rivers, and oceans.
the thinnest layer of the earth
Continents and oceans are found on Earth's crust, which is the outermost layer of the Earth. The continents are made up of thicker continental crust, while the oceans are located on thinner oceanic crust.
Oceanic crust is primarily composed of the rock basalt.
