oxygen and silicone is the answer

Mia Ochoa · Answer 2

Layer that is 0.2 to 1.1 percent of Earth's total diameter is the thinnest layer of the Earth - Crust.

So, the correct answer is: oxygen and silicone. The crust consists of tectonic plates (in relative motion one from another) and has 5-70 km (~3-44 miles) in depth. The most abundant elements of this layer are: oxygen-46.6 percent by weight; silicon-27.7 percent; aluminum-8.1 percent; iron-5 percent.
