  • Continental vs. Oceanic Crust: Understanding Earth's Surface Layers
    The two main types of crust that cover the Earth's surface are:

    1. Continental crust: This is the thicker and less dense type of crust, found under continents. It's mostly composed of granite and other felsic rocks.

    2. Oceanic crust: This is the thinner and denser type of crust, found under the oceans. It's mainly composed of basalt and other mafic rocks.

    Let me know if you'd like to learn more about either type of crust!
