All elements (since the creation of the Universe) are formed by either combining two lighter elements in to a heavier one (called nuclear fusion) or by splitting a heavy element into 2 (or more) lighter ones (called nuclear fission).
It is believed that at the creation of the Universe mostly hydrogen (and some helium) was present. Hydrogen is by far the most common element. These are the two lightest elements. Inside stars these elements are fused together to form heavier elements. Our very own Sun, for example, fuses hydrogen atoms together to form helium. This process releases energy in the form of heat and light.
A star is able to do this due to the tremendous heat and pressure within it. There are different types of stars, and some have even more staggeringly high pressures inside them allowing them to fuse together and form heavier elements than helium. It is believed that when a star dies, and goes supernova, the tremendous force at this point can fuse and create even heavier elements still. This explains why the heaviest elements are the rarest elements.
So, we have stars to thank for all the elements that exist. The pressures and temperatures within the Earth are just not high enough to fuse atoms together.

∙ 12y agothe chemical composition of human beings are similar to that found in the reminisce of stars after they impload this answer is correct human beings cant be chemically composed like earths crust because we arent formed from silicates and crystals
yes this is true.
earths mantle is made of silicon,iron,aluminum,calcium,sodium,potassium,magnesium,and mostly oxygen
The eight most common elements in the Earth's crust are as follows (with percentages):Oxygen (O) 46.6%Silicon (Si) 27.7%Aluminum (Al) 8.1%Iron (Fe) 5.0%Calcium (Ca) 3.6%Sodium (Na) 2.8%Potassium (K) 2.6%Magnesium (Mg) 2.1%
Earths outermost layer is the crust.Actually, the crust is divided into two parts,Sial and Sima.In that way, actually Sial is the outermost layer of the crust,as it lies above the Sima.
Mountain ranges are what is formed by compression in the earths crust. The Himalayas, the Alps, and the California Coast Range are three examples of landforms produced by compression.
Compression and tension can indeed affect the thickness of the Earth's crust. Compression can thicken the crust by folding and faulting, while tension can cause stretching and thinning of the crust through processes like rifting and faulting. These tectonic forces play a significant role in shaping the Earth's crust over geological time scales.
Compression is a force that changes Earth's crust by causing rocks to squeeze together. This can result in the bending, folding, or faulting of the crust as the rocks are pushed and deformed. Over time, compression can lead to the formation of mountain ranges.
compression
Yes. That is what causes some of the Earths core heat. Elements being formed by radioactive decay. Look at the Earths' makeup and see that the percentages of elements follows the periodic chart by decay.
is it oxygen
An anticline is a geological structure where rock layers are folded upward in an arch shape, with the oldest rocks at the center. They are formed by tectonic forces pushing the Earth's crust together, causing the rocks to bend and fold. Anticlines are often associated with the accumulation of oil and gas deposits.

Many elements and materials which could not have been produced any other way (like diamonds).
