Silicon and oxygen are the two most common elements in Earth's crust.
:D I got this from the science book, which I noticed all of your questions are for. Do you have Science Fusion Dynamic Earth? AJHS Mr. Fogle?

In earth's crust what are two types of crust?
sial and sima - sial is surface crust on land, made of silicate and aluminium. sima is the deep crust found in oceans, made of silicate and magnesium
The crust is only what of earths thickness?
half of earths layer
What is the comostion of the earths crust?
Mostly iron, oxygen, silicon, magnesium, sulfur, nickel, and calcium.
What is the earths under crust surrounded by?
Earths under crust surrounded by Upper Mantle (35-60 km) .The mantle is composed of sillicate rocks that are rich in iron and magnesium relative to the overlying crust.
How do floods affect the earths crust?
it gets soggy
What are the most common minerals located in earths crust?
Silicate minerals such as quartz and feldspar are the most common minerals located in earths crust
What are the two most common silicate minerals in earths crust?
Quartz and feldspars are the most common silicate minerals of the crust.
Which part of the earth is made mostly of silicate minerals?
The Crust.
What is the percentage of the earths crust made up of non silicate minerals?
Only 10% of the Earth's crust is composed of non-silicate minerals. Examples of non-silicate minerals are barringerite, nickel phosphide, taenite and suessite.
Any of a group of rock forming minerals the most abudant in the earths crust?
The most abundant mineral group in the crust is the silicate mineral group.
Do sulfides constitute the largest group of minerals in Earth's crust?
No the most abundant minerals in the earths crust are Silicates due to the over all abundance of the elements Oxygen and Silicon. A good example of a Silicate is Quartz. The overall composition of the Earth is mostly iron (Fe), oxygen (O), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg), nickel (Ni) and sulfur (S). Most of the mass of the Earth occurs within the mantle which is largely ferromagnesium silicate minerals olivine and pyroxenes.
Why earth crust is solid?
Earth's crust is composed mostly of silicate minerals, which have high melting points. Surface temperatures are not nearly hot enough to melt these minerals.
Which group of minerals of the most abundant in the Earth's crust?
The silicate group of minerals comprise the largest percentage of the Earth's crust. Silicate minerals include quartz, feldspars, and micas.
What are the two most common silicate in the Earth's crust?
Quartz and feldspars are the most common silicate minerals of the crust.
Is quartz one of the most common mineral on earths crust yes it is?
The most common minerals are the silicates- and quartz is the most common silicate.
What compose most of Earth's continental crust?
Silicate minerals compose the crust.
Which group of minerals are the most abundent in the Earth's crust?
The silicate group. The silicate group includes these minerals; quartz, feldspars, and micas.
