The Earth's crust is primarily composed of silicate minerals, such as feldspar and quartz, which contain silicon and oxygen as dominant elements. Carbon, while present in some minerals and organic matter, is not abundant in the crust compared to these silicate minerals. Additionally, the conditions during Earth's formation and subsequent geological processes favored the abundance of silicate materials over carbon-based compounds. As a result, carbon is found in much lower concentrations in the Earth's crust.
What else can I help you with?
Lead of a pencil made up of what?
Generally it's made of graphite. Graphite is a substance made of carbon. The carbon atoms are bonded together in a particular way that allows "sheets" of graphite to break off easily. When you write something, some of these sheets break off and end up on your paper.
What is sugar in a DNA molecule made up of?
glycose helps pops off a carbon and generates energy (krebs cycle)
What gas is given off by cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide
What is carbide is made off?
Carbide is a compound made of carbon and another element, typically a metal such as tungsten, titanium, or calcium. The combination of carbon and the metal creates a very hard and wear-resistant material that is used in various applications, such as cutting tools and abrasives.
How big is the indo-australian plate?
No, it is not an oceanic plate. It is a continental plate but with oceanic crust. Crust is different from plate. A plate is made up of many crust. The crust under the ocean is oceanic crust, while the crust where continent is found is called continental crust. Most of the plates are made up off both continental and oceanic crust. If a plate has continental crusts, then it is a continental plate. Only if a plate is all made up of oceanic crusts, meaning that there is no land on it, then the plate is called oceanic plate. In the world, the major oceanic plates include Pacific Plate, Nazca Plate, Cocos Plate and Philippines Plate. Other are all continental plate.
Can the US gov create an earthquake?
no. earthquakes are set off by sudden movements in the earths crust
What is the crust made off?
rocks
What is a pencil lead made off?
It is made of graphite, or carbon.
What is the major heat source of earth's crust?
there are many reasons for heat in earths crust. like the friction between rock masses during movements of earths crust. there may also be heat left over from the original heat of earths interior. but the main reason for heat in earths crust is radioactive elements. they give off energy that can be absorbed as heat. some radioactive elements include uranium, thorium, and a form of potassium.
What are rockets made off?
steel, with durible titanuim palting to protect it from breaking up in earths atmosphere
What is given off by the plant when sugar is made?
carbon dioxide + water
Is carbon fiber made from carbon?
Carbon fibre is generally greater than 95% carbon. Carbon fibre is made from a spun material that is very rich in carbon. It is usually a material called Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) or sometimes pitch, an oil derivative. These are heated in an inert atmosphere to drive off the other atoms, which leaves a fibre made almost entirely of carbon.
Is bread better with the crust on or off?
leaving the crust on gives you more nutrition

What reflects off earths surface?
Water.
What is crust made off?
pizza dough ... haha very funny ( somebody else wrote that ) http://mediatheek.thinkquest.nl/~ll125/en/crust.htm
When an acid reacts with a carbonate what gas is given off?
its obvious..when an acid is reacting with a carbonate 3 things are made: Metal Salt Water Carbon Dioxide so the gas that would be given off is carbon dioxide
