Answer 1

Answer:

It is less dense. It is also less dense than the oceanic crust.

Hope this helps and if it did, please mark brainliest!

Answer 2

It is less dense than the material of the Earth's mantle and thus "floats" on top of it. Continental crust is also less dense than oceanic crust, though it is considerably thicker; mostly 35 to 40 km versus the average oceanic thickness of around 7-10 km.
