Long story short - continental crust is thicker because is less dense, and it is less dense because it's composed mostly of quartz and feldspars, both having density around 2.6 g/cm3, whereas oceanic crust is made up by slightly denser Ca feldspar called plagioclase as well as pyroxenes and olivine, both having density above 3 g/dm3.
The earth's crust is a little different then the crust on a piece of bread. It is not soft and chewy, but it hard and composed of different minerals. The thin, outermost layer of the earth is called the crust. It makes up only one percent of the earth's mass.The continental crust is thicker than the oceanic crust. It can range from 25 km thick at the edges to 70 km thick near the center. The oceanic crust on the other hand is only about 7 km thick and considerably more dense.he mantle is the layer below the crust. It makes up almost two thirds of the earth's mass and is about 2900 km thick. The mantel is divided into two regions, the upper and lower sections.
