"the knowledgebook
Everything you need to know to get by in the 21st century"
Because of their increasing weight, sediments pressed the oceanic crust into the upper mantle where it melted. The molten stone rose up and reacted chemically with the sediment. This reaction led to the development of granite.
Because of the lower density of this stone, granite eventually raised itself out of the sea and formed the first non-volcanic continents.
Читала, что гранит не образуется в океанической коре, может я ошибаюсь? Кроме того, непонятно, что имеется в виду под "камнем"? Спасибо за помощь

: lava is molten material that has been extruded onto the Earth's surface, whereas molten rock that has not erupted (as in this case) is referred to as magma (магма)

You are correct. The text seems to be written for a layman, with all the inaccuracies that go along with that. Theoretically, melted oceanic crust may pick up enough silica during interaction with a sediment to produce a granite. So, technically the text is not wrong. However, such a situation is really hard to imagine happening in reality unless there are a lot, and I mean A LOT, of intermediate steps left out. Hope this helps.

Reading the whole paragraph and not just the first sentence, I see that this is an extremely oversimplified explanation of how the first continents formed. The first granite was derived from oceanic crust simply because there was no continental crust yet. However, it was a long process.
By stone, they mean the oceanic crust.
