Most Abundant Elements on Earth

The ten most abundant elements on Earth make up between 96 and 99 % of our planet's mass.

00.1% H - Hydrogen | LANL

00.4% Ti - Titanium | LANL

02.1% Mg - Magnesium | LANL

02.6% K - Potassium | LANL

02.8% Na - Sodium | LANL

03.6% Ca - Calcium | LANL

05.0% Fe - Iron | LANL

08.1% Al - Aluminum | LANL

27.7% Si - Silicon | LANL

46.6% O - Oxygen | LANL
_____

99.0%

While not listed above, most of C - Carbon ( LANL ) on Earth is concentrated in sedimentary rocks of its crust. Part of it is fixed as organic carbon, and a greater part as carbonate carbon. It is estimated that 18% of total carbon in sedimentary rocks is organic carbon and that 82% of sedimentary carbon is bound in the form of carbonates.
