   What elements make up the Earth's crust?

   • Keep in mind, these numbers are estimates. They will vary depending on the way they were calculated and the source. 98.4% of the Earth's crust consists of oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium. All other elements account for approximately 1.6% of the volume of the Earth's crust.

   What is the most abundant element in the Earth's crust?

   • Oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, at 461,000 parts per million. This means it makes up roughly 46% of the Earth’s crust. Within the universe at large, Oxygen ranks number three in abundance. Oxygen makes up 21% of the Earth’s atmosphere and 90% of the mass of water.

   What are the two most common chemical elements in the crust?

   • Silicon and oxygen are the two most common chemical elements in the crust that also happen to like each others company very much. Pure silicon oxide is known as mineral quartz which makes up 12% of the crust. There is not a single common non-silicate mineral that contains silicon — silicon always combines with oxygen.

   How do you calculate the abundance of elements in Earth's crust?

   • The abundance of elements in Earth's crust is shown in tabulated form with the estimated crustal abundance for each chemical element shown as mg/kg, or parts per million (ppm) by mass (10,000 ppm = 1%). The Earth's crust is one "reservoir" for measurements of abundance.

   What makes up 1% of earth's surface?

   • After all, the innermost layer of the Earth, the core, represents 15% of the planet’s volume, whereas the mantle occupies 84%. Representing the remaining 1% is the crust, a thin layer that ranges in depth from approximately 5-70 km (~3-44 miles). This infographic takes a look at what elements make up this 1%, based on data from WorldAtlas.

   What percentage of Earth's crust is iron?

   • Iron (Fe) Approximately 5% of the Earth’s crust is iron. Iron is a very important element on Earth, and it actually makes up the majority of the Earth’s core. Also, due to its abundance, it has been used by humans for thousands of years, even lending itself to the naming of an Era in the Iron Age.
