1. Oxygen (O): ~46.6% by weight
2. Silicon (Si): ~27.7% by weight
3. Aluminum (Al): ~8.1% by weight
4. Iron (Fe): ~5.0% by weight
5. Calcium (Ca): ~3.6% by weight
6. Sodium (Na): ~2.8% by weight
7. Potassium (K): ~2.6% by weight
8. Magnesium (Mg): ~2.1% by weight
These eight elements make up over 98% of the Earth's crust by weight.
It's important to note that the crust is only a very thin layer compared to the Earth's total size. The composition of the mantle and core is significantly different.
