The document compares and contrasts the key properties of continental crust and oceanic crust. Continental crust is older, mostly made of granite, thicker, and less dense than oceanic crust. Oceanic crust is younger, mostly made of basalt, thinner, and denser than continental crust. Both are part of the crust, made of solid rock, and found on tectonic plates.
