The continental crust is made of granitic rocks, which have even more silicon and aluminum than the basaltic oceanic crust; they also have more oxygen thanks to the atmosphere. Granitic rocks are even less dense than basalt. In terms of minerals, granite has even more feldspar, less amphibole than basalt and almost no pyroxene or olivine, plus it has abundant quartz. In geologist's shorthand, continental crust is felsic.
1 Oceanic crust is uniform in thickness and composition. 2  It is 5-6 km thick and is mafic in composition. 3  The differences in thickness and density between continental and oceanic are responsible for the existence of ocean basins due to isostatic balance as the crust floats on the more dense mantle. The crust: low density silicate rock, 5-70 km thick. 2  There are two distinct types of crust. 3  Continental crust is variable in thickness and composition. 4  Thickness ranges from 5-70 km.
