  • Continental vs. Oceanic Crust: Types and Composition
    The two main types of crust found in Earth's outermost layer are:

    1. Continental Crust: This is the thicker and less dense type of crust, found under the continents. It's primarily 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 primarily composed of basalt and other mafic rocks.
