How does this action explain the differences between seafloor crust and continental crust?

Main differences between sea floor crust and continental crusti is that oceanic crust and continental crust are less dense than the mantle, but sea floor crust is denser than continental crust. It also noticed that subduction occurs at ocean trenches, where dense seafloor crust pushes under less dense continental crust, thereby returning seafloor crust to the mantle. The subducting seafloor crust may partially melt, with lower density material melting first and erupting from volcanoes as new continental crust.
