1)Water
Water is an important part in the life of all living organisms on Earth. Without water, the plants would die cause of require water to make photosynthesis. Besides, the humans and animals would also die cause of thirsty. Otherwise, we use water in our daily activities such as washing hands, cooking, watering plants, bathing, washing clothes and many more.
Water covers the surface of Earth by almost 71%. The water on Earth occurs in three states of matter which are solid, liquid and gas. Snow, glaciers, ice packs and icebergs, clouds, fog, dew, aquifers, and atmospheric humidity are the examples of water occur in nature. There is also water cycle on the earth. The process of water cycle includes evaporation, …show more content…
A mineral has a specific chemical composition, whereas a rock can be an aggregate of different minerals or mineraloids. There are over 5,300 known mineral species. The silicate minerals have composed over 90% of the Earth's crust. The diversity and abundance of the mineral species is controlled by the Earth's chemistry. Silicon and oxygen approximately constitute 75% of the Earth's crust, which translates directly into the predominance of the silicate minerals.
Our body needs many minerals. These are called essential minerals. Essential minerals are divided up into major minerals (macrominerals) and trace minerals (microminerals). The amount of trace minerals are less needed than major minerals. Major minerals are including Sodium, Chloride, Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium and Sulfur. Meanwhile, trace minerals are including Iron, Zinc, Iodine, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Fluoride, Chromium and Molybdenum. Minerals are important to us. We need minerals for the proper composition of body fluids, formation of our blood and bones, maintenance of healthy nerve function, and regulation of muscle tone including cardiovascular
