Hakase! I learned that there are two types of crust, continental crust and oceanic crust, what is the difference between them?
Hakase
Well, good question.
In this article, I will illustrate the difference between continental crust and oceanic crust.
In this article, I will illustrate the difference between continental crust and oceanic crust.
The outermost layer of the Earth’s structure, the crust.
There are two types of crust with different characteristics: continental crust and oceanic crust.
What are the differences between them?
Let’s learn about the differences between continental crust and oceanic crust with the guinea pigs in this article!

Characteristics of the continental crust
Hakase
Let’s start with the characteristics of the continental crust.
The continental crust is 30-50 km thick.
The continental crust is 30-50 km thick.

So it’s a two-layer structure with the upper layer consisting of granitic layers and the lower of basaltic layers!
Characteristics of the oceanic crust
Hakase
Next is the oceanic crust.
The oceanic crust is 5-10 km thick.
The oceanic crust is 5-10 km thick.

So it’s mainly made up of basaltic layers!
Hakase
That’s right. This is a one-layer structure, different from the continental crust.
This layer is connected to the lower basaltic layer mentioned earlier in the continental crust!
This layer is connected to the lower basaltic layer mentioned earlier in the continental crust!

I see!
Summerly

So, here’s a summary of these features and their locations.
Chi-ga kun
The location is so obvious! This makes the difference so clear, I’m sure I won’t forget it!

Seeing is believing, as they say.
If you get stuck on a text in a textbook, the best thing to do is to look at the illustrations.
That is why I will continue to make illustrations!
