Silicon (Si), Magnessium (Ma), and Iron (Fe).
What is the earhs crust made of?
the earths crust is made out of rocks
what are plants that make up earths crust?
The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is also mostly solid rocks and minerals, but punctuated by malleable areas of semi-solid magma. At the center of the Earth is a hot, dense metal core.

Where is marble made?
in the earths crust and mountains
How is a rock made?
A rock takes millions of years to form. It is formed underneath the earths crust, where there is immense pressure and heat that compacts minerals to form rocks.
