Sial, or the "sial" layer, refers to the lighter, less dense part of the Earth's crust primarily composed of silicate minerals. This layer is found in continental crust, which underlies landmasses and is distinct from the denser oceanic crust known as "sim." Sial is primarily located beneath continents and mountainous regions, contributing to the formation of landforms and geological structures.
