What else can I help you with?
Is oxygen found in the earth's crust because it is produced by plants?
No. The oxygen in crustal rock is naturally occurring. Oxygen in the atmosphere, however, is due mostly to photosynthesis.
Which of the following is found in the large quantities in the Earth's crust?
Oxygen is found in large quantities in Earth's crust. Oxygen makes up about 46% of the Earth's crust by weight and is the most abundant element in the Earth's crust.
What is the element found in abundant in crust of the earth?
Oxygen is the most common element in the crust.
Why are silicates so common in Earth's crust?
Next to oxygen, silicon in the form of silicate minerals is the most abundant element in the rocks of the crust. As these rocks are weathered and eroded, the silicon becomes part of sedimentary rock.

Why cant you breathe the oxygen in the crust?

Where in the Earth's crust is oxygen mostly found?
Oxygen is most abundant in rock, as an elemental component of minerals.
Why isn't the earth's crust gas?
The oxygen in the Earth's crust is not 'free' as it is in the atmosphere. The oxygen in the atmosphere is mainly in the form of the molecule O2, which is a gas. However, in the crust the oxygen is either bonded to elements to form various compounds, trapped in enclosed places, or dissolved in other solutions. Hope it helps :)
