Figure 1 shows the abundance of elements in Earth’s crust. Figure 1. The Elite Eight Elements. The elements are listed along the x-axis and the percentage is on the y-axis. All numbers are approximate. Oxygen is just below 50 percent; silicon is just about 25 percent. Calcium is 5 ...
About 98 per cent of the total crust of the earth is composed of eight elements like oxygen, silicon, aluminium, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium, and the rest is constituted by titanium, hydrogen, phosphorous, manganese, sulphur, carbon, n

THE ABUNDANCE OF CHEMICAL ELEMENTS IN THE EARTH'S CRUST AND ITS MAJOR TECTONIC UNITS The earth's crust is defined as the solid outer shell of the earth,and delimited fromthe top,the earth rigid surface,down deep to the Mohorovicic discontinuity.By such adefinition,the abundance of chemical e...
is commonly used to argue for Xe to be stored in the Earth’s interior. Here again, although theoretical and experimental investigations suggest possible Xe incorporation into silicate phases found in the Earth’s crust25, even the highest measured crustal concentrations of Xe are still three order...
This is a table that shows the elemental chemical composition of the Earth's crust. Keep in mind, these numbers are estimates. They will vary depending on the way they were calculated and the source. 98.4% of the Earth's crust consists ofoxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, ...
