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.
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.
Oceanic Crust
the outer space is what is composed of lakes rivers and oceans WRONG. The Hydrosphere is composed of lakes, rivers, and oceans.
The upper layer of the Earth includes the crust, which is the outermost solid layer. It is divided into continental crust (under the continents) and oceanic crust (under the oceans).
the thinnest layer of the earth
Oceanic crust is primarily composed of the rock basalt.
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.
