In which situation would it be more suitable to link a rocky layer with oceanic crust?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is basaltic and relatively denser

Oceanic crust is mainly basaltic and is denser than continental, granitic crust. Therefore, a basaltic and relatively denser rocky layer is the best indicator of oceanic crust. A granitic, lighter layer is characteristic of continental crust, while iron and nickel are associated with Earth’s core. Exam tip: remember ‘basalt—higher density’ for oceanic crust and ‘granite—lower density’ for continental crust.
