    This crust is called oceanic crust. It is predominantly made up of mafic magma which produces basalt and other mafic rocks when they cool and solidify.

    The oceanic crust is generally thinner than the continental crust below the continent.

    The oceanic crust is about 5-10km thick.

    Continental crust is about 30km thick.
