The statement that the continental crust is younger than the oceanic crust is completely FALSE. This is because the continental crust is considered to be as old as the Earth itself.

The continental crust is referred to as the portion of the earth covered under land, and that of the oceanic crust is considered to be a part of the area of the earth covered under Oceans.

<h3>Continental Crust</h3>

  • The chemical composition of the oceanic crust is different from that of the continental crust, which is a strong evidence to show that the continental crust is older than the oceanic crust.

  • The destruction of continental crusts are impossible, and there is often a recycle experienced in the process of subduction. This concludes that such crusts might be as the same as the age of Earth.

  • However, sometimes there is a formation of newer continental crust over oceanic crust due to formation of rock resulted due to passage of time and only these newer crusts are younger to oceanic crusts.

Hence, it can be concluded that the statement above that Continental crust is younger than the oceanic crust is FALSE.

Answer:

It is, and it is not. To be more accurate, continental crusts are more buoyant than oceanic crusts. This is why no matter what, subduction of continental plates is not possible.
