Salary for Real Estate Brokers. Real estate brokers sell real estate for other individuals. They do this for a fee, also called a commission. Real estate brokers search other similar properties to compare prices and ensure the property is being listed at a competitive price. Brokers also monitor the fulfillment of the terms of the agreement once it is made and negotiate between buyers and sellers.
Oceanic crust is predominantly made of the rock basalt. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock (meaning it forms once lava reaches the earth's surface... or ocean floor... and cools down). It is a dark colored, grey to black rock that has a lot of iron and magnesium in it, but not a lot of silicon.
The continental crust is made mostly of rocks with a composition similar to granite (a light-colored rock you would expect to find in the Sierra Nevada), whereas the oceanic crust is made mostly of rocks with a composition of basalt (a dark-colored rock, like the rocks that make up the Hawaiian volcanoes).ecause continental crust is less dense than oceanic crust it floats higher on the mantle, just like a piece of Styrofoam floats higher on water than a piece of wood does. The mantle, oceanic crust and continental crust have different densities because they are made of different kinds of rock with different densities.
