The oceanic crust is denser than the continental crust.

Also, the oceanic crust consists mostly of basalt.

What is the oceanic crust made of?

The topmost layer of the tectonic plates' oceanic part is called the oceanic crust. It is made up of two oceanic crusts: the upper crust, which contains pillow lavas, and the bottom crust, which is made up of troctolite, and ultramafic cumulates. The crust sits on top of the hard mantle's topmost layer.

Dark-colored rocks named basalt and gabbro make up the majority of the marine crust. It is lighter-colored rocks called andesite and granite that make up the continental crust, which is thinner and denser. Because of its low density, continental crust "floats" high above the viscous mantle, generating dry land. It develops as magma rises to fill the space between divergent tectonic plates and is consumed in subduction zones.

Which event occurs after erosion of Earth’s surface?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Very dense particles settle faster than low-density particles.

Explanation:

Erosion is the process of destroying and destroying existing forms in relief.

Erosion is the destruction of the existing structural connections of the rock mass due to the action of exogenous forces and the change of its shape.

The term erosion in the elementary sense should mean changes in the surface layer of the soil relief, which occur as a result of rain, snow, frost, temperature differences, wind, and running water, or due to the work of anthropogenic factors.
