So, with silicon and oxygen being the two most abundant elements in the crust, the crust is going to be dominated by silicate minerals and oxides (mostly silicates by weight). Depending on weight% silica (SiO2) within these these silicate rocks and minerals, they are classified as being mafic, intermediate, and silicic.
