Values given here are estimates of the average composition of continental crust and are derived by a consensus and averaging process for data abstracted from references 1-8. Values for the more rare elements are probably accurate to within an order of magnitude.

All abundance data are <em>also</em> presented as ppb by atoms, which means atoms of the element per billion atoms.</p> <p>The reason for rescaling all data is as follows. It is common to see, say, solar abundances expressed as the number of atoms of the element relative to a scale upon which the abundance of hydrogen is defined as 10<sup>12</sup>. This makes comparison with, say, crustal abundances difficult, since crustal abundances are often expressed in terms of parts per million by weight. Hence a common scale is used throughout and I chose ppb as this gives manageable numbers for most elements.</p> <p>For access to other abundance data as ppb by weight, select from:</p> <ul> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_universe/">universe</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_sun/">solar</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_met_stony/">carbonaceous meteorites</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_met_iron/">iron meteorites</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_crust/">earth's crustal rocks</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_seawater/">oceans</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_stream/">stream</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_humans/">humans</a></li> </ul> <p>For access to other abundance data as ppb by atoms, select from:</p> <ul> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_universe_a/">universe</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_sun_a/">solar</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_met_stony_a/">carbonaceous meteorites</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_met_iron_a/">iron meteorites</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_crust_a/">earth's crustal rocks</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_seawater_a/">oceans</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_stream_a/">stream</a></li> <li><a class="pure-menu-link" href="../abund_humans_a/">humans</a></li> </ul> <h2 class="z">Literature sources</h2> <ol> <li>W.W.
