The layer of the crust that is made of granite is called the continental crust. It is thicker and less dense compared to the oceanic crust, which is made of basalt. The continental crust is primarily composed of granite and covers the Earth's continents.

If you are using the term 'upper crust' euphemistically and not to refer to bread or pies, then the upper crust is made of aristocrats. If you mean the upper part of the earth's crust, then it is made of the lightest elements from which the planet is made (silicon, aluminum etc).
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.
The Earth's crust is on the exterior, not the interior; that is why it is called the crust. It is on the outside. It is made mostly of rock, of various kinds. The rock of the crust is on average less dense than the rock of the mantle, which lies beneath the crust.

Oceanic crust is primarily made of basalt and is more dense than continental crust. It is also younger and thinner compared to continental crust.
No. The crust is made of solid rock.
