Oooo so close ... tectonic plates ... the continents are just the tip of the iceberg

I was considering the density differences of continental versus ocean crust

Density differences ... you mean how thick they be?

That "molten sea" is denser than the ground.

As ice is less dense than water!

not all liquids and solids are that way... water is special

If you so inclined do NOT dive into molten lava. You'll just bounce around on the surface frying and spewing exploding organ meat.

Can't be "icebergs"....guess they could be "rockbergs", or "landbergs"..........
