Village Board meetings are held the 1st Monday of the month @ 7:00. (When the 1st Monday is a legal holiday, the meeting date is changed to the following week)
The seven continents and ocean plates basically float across the mantle which is composed of much hotter and denser material. The crust is composed of two basic rock types granite and basalt. The continental crust is composed mostly of granite. The oceanic crust consists of a volcanic lava rock called basalt. Basaltic rocks of the ocean plates are much denser and heavier than the granitic rock of the continental plates. Because of this the continents ride on the denser oceanic plates.
1 The crust is made up of silicate rocks such as granite and basalt. 2  The continental crust is much thicker than the oceanic crust as shown here in the diagram of the earth's crust. 3  Oceanic crust-The crust under the oceans is about 10 km thick and is generally made up of rock rich in iron and magnesium. Continental crust (continental cratons) - Where there are continents the crust is about 30 to 50 km thick. 2  It is made up of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. 3  The continental crust is less dense than the oceanic crust.
