The Earth's crust is approximately 1.65 % of the total volume of Earth.
Volume of sphere = 4/3 * pi * r^3
Volume of earth = 4/3 * pi * 6,360^3
Volume of earth (km3) = 1.078x1012
Crust is on average 35 km thick.
Therefore radius of earth without crust = 6,360 - 35 = 6,325 km.
Volume of earth (not including crust) = 4/3 * pi * 6,325^3 = 1.06x1012 km3
Volume of crust = Total volume of earth - Volume of earth (not including crust).
Volume of crust = 1.77x1010 km3
Percentage of earth's total volume taken by crust = (1.77x1010 / 1.06x1012) * 100
Percentage of earth's total volume taken by crust = 1.641 %

Is it true that a batholith is a mass of rock that formed when a large body of magma cooled inside earths crust?
Yes.
Which is called a large mass of igneous rock in earths crust that if exposed at the surface covers an area of at least 100km?
a batholith
What is the rapid mass movement of rock down a cliff?
a sudden movement in earths crust is an earthquake
What is silvers abundance in the Earths crust?
its the percentage in mass !
What makes up the largest percentage of mass on earths crust?
Oxygen and silicon
Is the earths crust less than one percent of earths mass?
With a very sizable iron core and a (by comparison) wafer-thin crust, I doubt that the earth's crust even approximates a full percentage point.
Is it true that earths crust contains most of earths mass?
No. The crust contains a small fraction of earth's mass. Most of the mass is contained in the mantle.
Which of the compositional layers make up the greatest percentage of Earth's mass?
Continental crust
What Earth layers make up the most percentage of earths mass?
The mantle and core make up the most percentage of Earth's mass. The mantle is the thickest layer and accounts for about 84% of Earth's total volume, while the core makes up about 32.5% of Earth's total mass.
How does earths crust respond to addition and subtraction of mass?

mass of Earth = 5.97219 × 1024 kilograms. Roughly.The mass of the earth is not represented by the earths crust
What is a fractured surface on the earths crust when a mass of rocks is in motion?
Fault
Which layer of the earth is 1 percent of the earth's mass?
The Earths crust.
Which is the second most abundant element in the earths crust?
The second most abundant element in the Earth's crust is silicon, comprising 27.8% of the crust by mass.
What percentage of moon mass is earths mass?
Earth's moon is roughly 1.2% the mass of earth.
