Is silicon abundant in the earths crust?
Webelements.com 2009 (Mark Winter [The University of Sheffield and WebElements Ltd, UK], accessed March 12, 2009) Silicon is present in the sun and stars and is a principal component of a class of meteorites known as aerolites. Silicon makes up 25.7% of the earth's crust by weight, and is the second most abundant element, exceeded only by oxygen. It is found largely as silicon oxides such as sand (silica), quartz, rock crystal, amethyst, agate, flint, jasper and opal. Silicon is found also in minerals such as asbestos, feldspar, clay and mica.
Where does silicon come from?
