A thin layer of rock separates the Earth’s oceans from the hot mantle beneath them. In this lesson, you’ll read about the composition and life cycle of this oceanic crust. Then you can take a quiz to test your understanding. What Is Oceanic Crust? All over the Earth, just a few miles below our feet, the powerful tectonic forces that create and destroy the Earth’s crust are at work 24 hours a day.
We’re usually unaware of them until a violent earthquake, volcanic eruption, or tsunami threatens lives and property, but this cycle is essential to all life. It creates the crust of the Earth we walk on, and the crust that lies at the ocean floor. Oceanic crust is the part of the Earth’s crust that makes up the seafloor.
It’s thinner, denser, and simpler in structure than the continental crust. Oceanic crust is also younger, on average; from its birth at a mid-ocean ridge to its end at a subduction zone is no more than million years. Fragments of the oceanic crust sometimes become stranded high and dry on top of a continent due to uplift.
It is partly thanks to these ancient ophiolites that we understand as much as we do about the composition of this layer of the Earth’s lithosphere. Composition of Oceanic Crust The oceanic crust, which, on average, is only about six kilometers thick, is primarily made up of the igneous rock basalt.
