Oceanic crust is the uppermost layer of an oceanic tectonic plate. The crust overlies the solidified and uppermost layer of the mantle. The crust and the solid mantle layer together comprise an oceanic plate.The plates of the Earth together are referred to as the lithosphere.ceanic crust is significantly simpler than continental crust and generally can be divided in three layers. 1  Layer 1 is on an average 0.4 km thick. 2  It consists of unconsolidated or semiconsolidated sediments, usually thin or even not present near the mid-ocean ridges but thickens farther away from the ridge.
Oceanic Crust. Oceanic crust covers about 60 percent of the Earth's surface. Oceanic crust is thin and youngâno more than about 20 km thick and no older than about 180 million years. Everything older has been pulled underneath the continents by subduction.
