About 75 percent of the weight of the Earth's crust is made up of Oxygen and Silicon. The remaining percentage is composed of Aluminum, Iron, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium, and Magnesium.
The Mantle
73 i'm sure
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.
When mass is added to Earth's crust, it causes the crust to subside and sink due to the increased weight. Conversely, when mass is removed from the crust, it can rebound and rise due to the decreased load. This process is known as isostatic adjustment and can result in changes in the Earth's topography.
The most common element in the earth's crust is oxygen.
Seventy-four percent of the mass of the Earth's crust is primarily composed of oxygen and silicon. These two elements combine to form silicate minerals, which are the most abundant type of minerals found in the crust. Oxygen accounts for about 46% and silicon for about 28% of the crust's composition.
No. The crust contains a small fraction of earth's mass. Most of the mass is contained in the mantle.
The two elements that make up the greatest percentage of Earth's crust by mass are oxygen and silicon. Together, they account for about 75% of the crust, with oxygen making up approximately 46% and silicon about 28%. These elements primarily combine to form silicate minerals, which are the most abundant in the Earth's crust.
its the percentage in mass !
The Mantle
mass of Earth = 5.97219 × 1024 kilograms. Roughly.The mass of the earth is not represented by the earths crust

The Earths crust.
The 8 most common elements in Earth's crust (by mass): 46.6% Oxygen (O) 27.7% Silicon (Si) 8.1% Aluminum (Al) 5.0% Iron (Fe) 3.6% Calcium (Ca) 2.8% Sodium (Na) 2.6% Potassium (K) 2.1% Magnesium (Mg) hope that helps!
The second most abundant element in the Earth's crust is silicon, comprising 27.8% of the crust by 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.
