What is the oceanic crust made of?

Oceanic Crust Oceanic crust, extending 5-10 kilometers (3-6 kilometers) beneath the ocean floor, is mostly composed of different types of basalts. Geologists often refer to the rocks of the oceanic crust as “sima.” Sima stands for silicate and magnesium, the most abundant minerals in oceanic crust.

What are the characteristics of oceanic crust?

Oceanic crust is thinner and denser than continental crust. This is because it has been compressed by the weight of the oceans it carries above it. It is also much younger than the Continental crust, as it is usually less than 200 million years old.
