The correct Answer is:
To determine the two most abundant metals in the Earth's crust, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Composition of the Earth's Crust The Earth's crust is primarily composed of various elements, with oxygen and silicon being the most abundant. However, we are specifically interested in metals. ### Step 2: Identify the Most Abundant Metals From geological studies, we know that the most abundant metals in the Earth's crust are: - Aluminium (Al) - Iron (Fe) ### Step 3: Compare the Abundance of Other Metals While there are other metals present in the Earth's crust, such as zinc, copper, silver, and gold, their abundance is significantly lower compared to aluminium and iron. ### Step 4: Analyze the Given Options The options provided are: 1. Aluminium, Zinc 2. Silver, Gold 3. Iron, Copper 4. Iron, Aluminium From our knowledge, we can eliminate options 2 and 3 since silver, gold, and copper are not as abundant as aluminium and iron. ### Step 5: Confirm the Correct Answer Between the remaining options, we find that: - Aluminium is about 8.23% - Iron is about 5.63% Thus, the correct answer is **Option 4: Iron and Aluminium**. ### Final Answer The two most abundant metals in the Earth's crust are **Iron and Aluminium**. ---
