Which type of rock is mainly found in oceanic crust?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: बेसाल्ट — Basalt

Oceanic crust is mainly composed of basalt, a dark, dense volcanic igneous rock rich in iron and magnesium. It forms when magma rises at mid-ocean ridges, cools and solidifies, and it is continuously renewed as new seafloor develops. By contrast, continental crust contains more granitic rocks and is generally less dense. Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed largely from deposited carbonate material, while marble is a metamorphic rock produced when limestone is altered by heat and pressure. Therefore option C is correct. The older school term “sima” also reflects the silica- and magnesium-rich character traditionally associated with oceanic crust.
