So we created the periodic table of elements out of mini cupcakes. I, for one, think this is pretty brilliant. Could just be me though.

This was spotted while cycling through Forest Hill. It's the periodic table by local artist Tessa Holmes. More information about this artist can be found on the following link: www.tessaholmes.com/

За Чистоту Оптических Осей! С Днём Химика!

This was my Chemistry teacher, Mr. Dibbs. The semester ended today so I got a picture of him standing next to the periodic table in the room! Granted, he didn't teach very much Chemistry, but he did hold stimulating conversations about today's youth with my friend, to which I listened often. It was one of my favorite classes!

"He who is born in imagination discovers the latent forces of Nature …  Besides the stars that are established, there is yet anothe — Imagination — that begets a new star and a new heaven."

Elements in the Earth’s crust provide all the basic building blocks for mankind.

But even though the crust is the source of everything we find, mine, refine, and build, it really is just scratching the surface of our planet.

After all, the innermost layer of the Earth, the core, represents 15% of the planet’s volume, whereas the mantle occupies 84%. Representing the remaining 1% is the crust, a thin layer that ranges in depth from approximately 5-70 km (~3-44 miles).

This infographic takes a look at what elements make up this 1%, based on data from WorldAtlas.

Earth’s Crust Elements

The crust is a rigid surface containing both the oceans and landmasses. Most elements are found in only trace amounts within the Earth’s crust, but several are abundant.

The Earth’s crust comprises about 95% igneous and metamorphic rocks, 4% shale, 0.75% sandstone, and 0.25% limestone.

Oxygen, silicon, aluminum, and iron account for 88.1% of the mass of the Earth’s crust, while another 90 elements make up the remaining 11.9%.
