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.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

<h2>c. Division of these two groups occurred after the protostome developmental sequence appeared. </h2>

Explanation:

  • Protosomes are such types of organisms in which the mouth part developed first during embryonic development.
  • Those animals in which anus develop first are known as deuterostomes.
  •  This differentiation takes place during the embryonic development of the organisms.
  • Since lophotrochozoan and Ecdysozoa both are protostomes animals and categorized on the basis of molecular evidence.
  • Thus these two groups were formed after the appearance of the protostomes.
