silicates
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.
If you're asking how much of the earth is in the crust layer, less than one percent. If you're asking what it's composition is:SiO2:60.6Al2O3:15.9CaO:6.4MgO:4.7Na2O:3.1Fe as FeO:6.7K2O:1.8TiO2:0.7P2O5:0.1
Silicates make up about 90% of Earth's crust. These minerals are composed of silicon and oxygen, along with other elements like aluminum, iron, calcium, and magnesium. Silicate minerals are the building blocks of most rocks on Earth's surface.
Boron makes up about 0.001% of the Earth's crust.
The fifth most abundant element in the Earth's crust is potassium. It makes up about 2.6% of the Earth's crust by weight.
Silicates make up close to 95 percent of the rocks in the Earth's crust

Silicates make up close to 95 percent of the rocks in the Earth's crust
it is the lithosphere
Igneous and metamorphic rock make up 95% of the rocks in Earth's crust. Only a thin layer is made up of sedimentary rock.

SiO2 makes up around 50% of the crust in the form of many types of minerals like jasper, flint, chalcedony, opal, quartz.... There is no one mineral that makes up 99% of the earths crust
Silicates make up about 90% of Earth's crust. These minerals are composed of silicon and oxygen, along with other elements like aluminum, iron, calcium, and magnesium. Silicate minerals are the building blocks of most rocks on Earth's surface.
In terms of weight, iron makes up approximately 5% of the earths crust, the fourth most abundant element in the crust. However, remember Earth's Core is nearly all Iron.
