There are two types of rocks that make up the continental crust "sedimentary and metamorphic rocks." Sedimentary rocks are formed with pressure and compaction, and metamorphic rocks are made with heat and pressure. The earth's crust itself is made up of sedimentary rocks because they are mainly found a little under earths crust same goes with metamorphic rocks.

Hope this helps!
