information it can be analysed that before civilisation all continents were on the same scale of development but Africa had the advantage of mineral resources. The following study will focus on the socio economic…

syrup include protein, energy, carbohydrates, fat, sugars and water. In terms of minerals it contains phosphorus sodium, zinc, calcium, potassium and magnesium. Apart from that, vitamins are also found in the maple syrup such as vitamin B6, niacin, thiain and riboflavin. These essential vitamins and minerals are highly important for healthy living. The various health benefits can attribute to the presence of various minerals…

acid plaque will slowly start to eat away all the healthy minerals like the phosphate mineral and calcium in the tooth enamel which will end up causing the enamel to wear out due to the acidic levels in foods and drinks. But however, according to the website Bfsweb.org again, “once the plaque acid has been neutralized, the minerals can return to the enamel surface – a process called remineralization” which is just “the restoration of lost mineral elements, as of calcium salts to bones or teeth”…

The element boron, not to be confused with Borax or boric acid, is an essential trace mineral for human health, helping to strengthen bones, increase absorption of other minerals, and to regulate the sex hormones in both men and women. Intake of boron helps the body absorb and utilize other minerals by interacting with steroid hormones. Boron is important for bone growth and maintenance as it reduces the urinary excretion of magnesium and calcium. The boron vertebrate transporter helps these…

earth and the people? A volcano erupts when the Earth’s plate tectonics shift. Lahar is fast flowing volcanic mudflow that is made up of ash and water. When a volcano erupts, it produces lots of rock and ash. This rock and ash is full of lots of minerals.…

Mars. NASA was able to detect the presence of water in different minerals and rocks. On Mars there is an important amount of clay minerals and sulphates, which are highly concentrated in water. The robots sent on Mars found different rocks; the main one we will study is Basalt. Basalt is an igneous rock that is consisted of silicate minerals, olivine, pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar (all minerals studied in class). These minerals have the property that when they are exposed to water they will…

that there is a crack in the ground before a landslide or mudslide after a odd amount of rain, they look to the building blocks of rocks, minerals. Minerals are what make up all rocks, and there are many types of minerals like quartz which can be seen in most types of sandstone, which is a sedimentary rock. This and other minerals make up rocks, but the minerals themselves are made up of even smaller building blocks like atoms, forming a structure which defines how…

Macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals are essential to our every day lives. Our body is like a car that is dependent on fuel or gasoline. Our body is dependent on macronutrient and micronutrients, which fuel a person’s body. Vitamins and minerals are in the category of micronutrients (Hathcock, 1997). Everyday our body runs out of fuel and so we need to eat more macro- and micro-nutrients. Also, eating too many nutrients can be hurtful to your body. Like a car, too much gasoline can ruin the…

African countries, was abruptly liberated and led to an internal fight for power within the DRC as a result of the abandonment. The inner turmoil that was created allowed for western industrial societies to keep taking advantage of the DRC’s rich minerals and keep using cheap human labor in order to benefit themselves. Even in present day,…

modify the sand over long periods of time” (Hadhazy). One beach sand may have a certain mineral composition due to some external factor, such as volcanic eruptions and/or the weathering and erosion of nearby rocks. Another beach sand could differ due to some internal factor, such as the chemical processes taking place in the water itself or the activity of its living organisms (Garrison and Ellis 140). These minerals may even spread to other neighboring beaches as the water’s currents, waves,…
