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.
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.ceanic Crust. Oceanic crust covers about 60 percent of the Earth's surface.
