] of elements. These have been depleted by being relocated deeper into the Earth's core. Their abundance in ]s is higher. Additionally, tellurium and selenium have been depleted from the crust due to formation of volatile hydrides.]]
The '''abundance of elements in Earth's crust''' is shown in tabulated form with the estimated ] abundance for each ] shown as mg/kg, or ] (ppm) by ] (10,000 ppm = 1%).


== Reservoirs ==
This table shows the estimated abundances of ]s in ]. Numbers show ] or ] (ppm) in ]; 10,000 ppm = 1%.
The Earth's crust is one "reservoir" for measurements of abundance. A reservoir is any large body to be studied as unit, like the ocean, atmosphere, mantle or crust. Different reservoirs may have different relative amounts of each element due to different chemical or mechanical processes involved in the creation of the reservoir.<ref name=Albarede>{{Cite book |last=Albarède |first=Francis |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/product/identifier/9780511807435/type/book |title=Geochemistry: An Introduction |date=2009-06-25 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=978-0-521-88079-4 |edition=2 |doi=10.1017/cbo9780511807435.005}}</ref>{{rp|18}}


== Difficulties in measurement ==

Estimates of elemental abundance are difficult because (a) the composition of the upper and lower crust are quite different, and (b) the composition of the continental crust can vary drastically by locality.<ref>Kring, David A. . 28th Annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, March 17–21, 1997, Houston, TX, p.&nbsp;763. Vol.&nbsp;28. 1997.</ref> The composition of the Earth changed after its formation due to loss of volatile compounds, melting and recrystalization, selective loss of some elements to the deep interior, and erosion by water.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Suess |first1=Hans E. |url=https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/RevModPhys.28.53 |title=Abundances of the Elements |last2=Urey |first2=Harold C. |journal=Reviews of Modern Physics |date=1956-01-01 |volume=28 |pages=53–74 |language=en |doi=10.1103/RevModPhys.28.53 |issn=0034-6861}}</ref>{{rp|55}}

== Graphs of abundance vs atomic number ==
]
Graphs of abundance against atomic number can reveal patterns relating abundance to ] and ].
The alternation of abundance between even and odd atomic number is known as the ]. The rarest elements in the crust are not the heaviest, but are rather the ] (iron-loving) in the ] of elements. These have been depleted by being relocated deeper into the Earth's core; their abundance in ]s is higher. Tellurium and selenium are concentrated as sulfides in the core and have also been depleted by preaccretional sorting in the nebula that caused them to form volatile ] and ].<ref>Anderson, Don L.; "Chemical Composition of the Mantle", ''Theory of the Earth'', pp. 147–175 {{ISBN|0865421234}}</ref>

This table gives the estimated abundance in parts per million by mass of elements in the continental crust; values of the less abundant elements may vary with location by several orders of magnitude.<ref name="CRC">"Abundance of Elements in the Earth's Crust and in the Sea", ''CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics,'' 97th edition (2016–2017), sec. 14, pg. 17</ref>

The abundance of elements in Earth's crust is shown in tabulated form with the estimated crustal abundance for each chemical element shown as mg/kg, or parts per million (ppm) by mass (10,000 ppm = 1%).

Reservoirs

The Earth's crust is one "reservoir" for measurements of abundance. A reservoir is any large body to be studied as unit, like the ocean, atmosphere, mantle or crust. Different reservoirs may have different relative amounts of each element due to different chemical or mechanical processes involved in the creation of the reservoir.

Difficulties in measurement

Estimates of elemental abundance are difficult because (a) the composition of the upper and lower crust are quite different, and (b) the composition of the continental crust can vary drastically by locality. The composition of the Earth changed after its formation due to loss of volatile compounds, melting and recrystalization, selective loss of some elements to the deep interior, and erosion by water. The lanthanides are especially difficult to measure accurately.

Graphs of abundance vs atomic number

Abundance (atom fraction) of the chemical elements in Earth's upper continental crust as a function of atomic number; siderophiles shown in yellow

Graphs of abundance against atomic number can reveal patterns relating abundance to stellar nucleosynthesis and geochemistry. The alternation of abundance between even and odd atomic number is known as the Oddo–Harkins rule. The rarest elements in the crust are not the heaviest, but are rather the siderophile elements (iron-loving) in the Goldschmidt classification of elements. These have been depleted by being relocated deeper into the Earth's core; their abundance in meteoroids is higher. Tellurium and selenium are concentrated as sulfides in the core and have also been depleted by preaccretional sorting in the nebula that caused them to form volatile hydrogen selenide and hydrogen telluride.

List of abundance by element

This table gives the estimated abundance in parts per million by mass of elements in the continental crust; values of the less abundant elements may vary with location by several orders of magnitude.

Colour indicates each element's Goldschmidt classification:
