May anyone help me on how to define the units used to define the abundance of elements on Earth's crust "It's written ppb(parts per billion by weight)"
I really fail to define that!

The most abundant element in the earth's crust is oxygen, making up about 46.6% of the crust's mass.
The second most abundant element in the earth's crust is silicon, comprising approximately 27.7% of the crust's mass.
The top 5 most abundant elements in the earth's crust are oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, and calcium.
The abundance of elements in the earth's crust is significantly different from the rest of the planet. For example, the most abundant element in the earth's core is iron, while the most abundant element in the atmosphere is nitrogen.
Yes, there are many rare elements present in the earth's crust, including gold, silver, and platinum. These elements are typically found in small concentrations and are not as abundant as elements like oxygen and silicon.
