    Silicon, oxygen and one or more metals

    Explanation:

    Most abundant (mass percent) mineral compounds in the earth crust are:

    Silicon dioxide (SiO₂) with a abundance of 42.86%

    Magnesium oxide (MgO) with a abundance of 35.07%

    Ferrous oxide (FeO) with a abundance of 8.97%

    Aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) with a abundance of 6.99%

    So, as you can see the silicon and the oxygen (in the form of oxides) are the most the most common elements found in earth crust, followed by other metal compounds.
