Oceanic crust is much denser than continental crust. This is why at convergent boundaries where oceanic and continental plates meet, the oceanic plate subducts into the upper mantle. This is also why continental plates tend to rise above oceanic plates. The reasons for this include different organic composition as well as pressure (due to gravity pulling upon the air and water).
