The continental crust is thicker (about 30 - 70 km) and less dense (average density around \(2.7\ g/cm^{3}\)) as it is mainly composed of granite - like rocks. The oceanic crust is thinner (about 5 - 10 km) and more dense (average density around \(3.0\ g/cm^{3}\)) as it is mainly composed of basalt - like rocks.
