The abundance of radium in the earth crust is 9.10-10 mg/kg.

Rubidium is the twenty-third most abundant element in the Earth's crust. It occurs in the minerals pollucite, carnallite, leucite and lepidolite, from which it is recovered commercially. Potassium minerals and brines also contain this element and are a further commercial source.
There aren't any "deposits" of radium compounds, but there are traces of it in a lot places where traces (or more) of uranium are found. The tiny bit of this element that occurs naturally is widely distributed. With a great deal of effort, it can be accumulated from the refining of carnotite, an ore of uranium. Radium is (highly) radioactive, and it is a daughter of the radioactive decay of thorium, which is, in turn, a radioactive daughter of uranium decay. The uranium and thorium in this decay chain are long lived, and radium is relatively short-lived. This translates into the idea that only trace amounts of it exist naturally. The chemistry of radium was known largely from working with only trace amounts. Additional information was gleaned from the study of larger quantities following its separation from carnotite, a uranium ore. A link to the Wikipedia article on radium is provided.
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
The crust is the layer of the Earth that contains granite and basalt in the greatest abundance. These rocks are commonly found in the continental crust (granite) and oceanic crust (basalt).

Abundance of radium in the earth crust: 9.10-10 mg/kg Abundance of radium in the sea water: 8,9.10-14 mg/L
its the percentage in mass !
Neodymium is relatively abundant in the Earth's crust, with an average concentration of about 38 parts per million. It is considered a relatively common rare-earth element compared to others in the lanthanide series.

The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
Lithium is the 25th most abundant element in Earth's crust, with an average concentration of about 20 parts per million (ppm). This makes it relatively rare compared to other elements like silicon and oxygen.
Protactinium is so scarce that the abundance in the Earth crust was not determined.
