74 of the mass of the Earth's crus is composed of only two elements. What are these?

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.
