Question

Explain the Law of Conservation of Matter and how it relates to the environment?

Answer 1

Kinda makes you wonder why anybody would want to be embalmed and stored in a box when we die dont it? When you could be part of something somewhere else, anywhere else on the third rock from the sun.

Answer 2

that applies with water too...the water on earth today is the same water that was on the earth billions of years ago

Answer 3

Well the law states that matter is neither created nor destroyed, but rather transefered.  In conservation, this is a very important concept.  When an animal dies, much of its fat and muscle becomes nutrition for the predator.  What is left behind becomes food for microbes and fungi.  Eventually nothing will remain of the dead animal and all of its matter will be in use somewhere else, scattered among the environment.

Answer 4

do your own homework

Answer 5

conserving solids, liquids and gases(matter) all this matter exists in the environment as rain, snow, hail, water vapor and if u keep taking very large amounts of water out of its natural environment and using it for human uses...there will be nothing to evaporate or rain down and the earth and everyone on it will be in trouble because of lack of water. thats why we must conserve our water supply.

Answer 6

There is no law of conservation of matter.

Therefore it doesn't apply at all.
