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.

Colt1911 [192]

When grilling chicken using charcoal fire, the energy transformation that takes place starts from chemical energy, to radiant energy and then thermal energy. The combustion reaction of the charcoal fire converts the chemical energy into heat. The charcoal fire is considered as radiant energy. Lastly, burning fuels like coal or wood produces thermal energy, and that thermal energy is basically the reason why the chicken was cooked even without directly touching the fire.
