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.

What affects algal growth with increasing depth in the ocean?
andrew-mc [135]
The answer is light.

One of the factors that affect photosynthesis is light. Without light, the photosynthetic rate is reduced or even stopped which consequently affect algal growth. With increasing depth in the ocean, there is less sunlight present. Still, a<span>lgae have accessory photosynthetic plastids other than the chloroplasts</span><span> that can absorb different light in greater ocean depths. This helps them to maximum use sunlight in such conditions. But, in the end, at some particular depth, they would not be able to survive.</span>
