Oxygen is the most abundant element on the Earth's surface (or "crust"). It comprises 49.5 percent of the total mass (amount) of the Earth's crust, waters, and atmosphere.
Silicon is the second most abundant element. Silicon dioxide and silicates (salts derived from silicon dioxide) make up about 87 percent of the materials in the Earth's crust.

However water is the most common substance on the surface of the Earth.
In the atmosphere, Nitrogen is the most common element (78%).
It is believed that the core of our planet is mostly made of iron (at very high pressure and density), so iron would be the most common element within the Earth.

The most common form of retirement is?
The most common form of retirement is the 401(K) plan.
What is the most expensive material on earth?
AeroGel, It cost About $300 billion per milligram. Just a comment here: That is debatable. The very chemical composition of AeroGel makes it about 99% air. That means its actual mass at that weight (1 milligram) is considerable. If you are going for "most expensive material on earth" by actual amount/size/mass, it's probably antimatter. Again, debatable. Oh, almost forgot: the last time I did any research on this, antimatter (especially antiatoms like antihydrogen), were at $1,750 trillion US Dollars (USD) per ounce.
