Best Answer

Most rocks at the surface of the earth contain:

oxygen

silicon

(silicon dioxide is the major component of rocks and sand)

and in approximate order the next 6 are:

iron

aluminum

potassium

sodium

calcium

magnesium

These are all of the elements that comprise 1% or more of earth's crust.

The next two elements to complete the top 10 are titanium and hydrogen.
