Question: How do you report the cannulated screw fixation of a triplane fracture? Alaska Subscriber Answer: A triplane fracture extends through the transverse (growth plate), sagittal (epiphysis), and coronal (distal tibial metaphysis) planes of the distal tibia. It disrupts the tibial plafond intra-articularly. You [...]
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.
Making the world better, one answer at a time. Its made up of both. Oceanic crust is mostly mafic magma (basalt) and continental crust is mafic and felsic. The lithosphere also contains the upper portion of the upper mantle which is mostly mafic. The earths crust is 60% Si02 (silicates). Felsic rocks are much more silicate heavy than mafic. So one would assume that the crust is more felsic than mafic. That's just my conceptual thought process so don't take me on my word.
