The Earth has a radius of 6,360 km. The crust varies in thickness from around 5-70 km with an average value of around 35 km.
As such Earth's crust is between approximately 0.07 and 1.1 % of the total thickness of the Earth (average of 0.55 %).
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
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.
The earth's crust is not stress
Helium is not one of the eight common elements in Earth's continental crust. The eight common elements are oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
continental crust
About 7% of the earths crust
The percentage of Earth's crust is less than one percentage in terms of Earth's volume. The Earth's crust is actually a thin layer.
its the percentage in mass !

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.
No however the lack of oxygen is deadly. It is unlikely that you will hurt yourself sucking the helium out of balloons, as long as you breathe oxygen in between breaths of helium. There is a small percentage of helium (.0005%) in the earths atmosphere.
Silicates are the mineral group that make up the highest percentage of Earth's crust, accounting for about 90% of the crust by volume. They are composed of silicon and oxygen, the two most abundant elements in the Earth's crust.
Helium is NOT one of the eight most common elements in Earth's continental crust. The eight most common elements are oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Helium is a noble gas and is not as abundant in the Earth's crust.
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
