  • Igneous Rocks: The Foundation of Oceanic & Continental Crusts
    Both the oceanic and continental crusts are partially composed of igneous rocks.

    Here's why:

    * Oceanic crust is primarily composed of basalt, a dark-colored igneous rock formed from volcanic eruptions.

    * Continental crust is more diverse, with a mix of igneous rocks like granite, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks. However, igneous rocks still play a significant role in its formation.
