Abstract
Geophysicist and geologist Tanya Atwater discusses the differences between continental and oceanic crust. Continental crust tends to be much thicker and would be thicker still were it not for the forces of gravity and erosion. In addition, oceanic crust forms as a result of seafloor spreading, while continental crust is made at subduction zones from the same melting material that rises to make volcanoes.
