The oceanic lithosphere consists of the upper part of the Earth's crust that is submerged beneath the oceans. It is primarily made up of basalt, but can consist of other forms of sediment deposited by rivers or currents; the basalt feature exists due to the oceanic lithosphere's creation via divergent tectonic activity. The continental shelf is a portion of the crust that is of higher elevation than the rest of the ocean due to its connection to the less dense continental lithosphere. The continental slope, therefore, is the portion of the crust where the continental shelf decreases in elevation as it meets the denser oceanic lithosphere. Abyssal plains are portions of the lithosphere far from spreading centers - they consist of rocks older than those near rifting centers. Due to the coolness of the plate and their distance from rifting centers, abyssal plains are some of the lowest continuous portions of the lithosphere (cool rock is denser and thus sinks to a lower elevation). Since they are very much inactive, abyssal plains are coated with sediment and are very, very flat.
Answer:
1. Air- We humans and other living creatures depend on air for staying alive, humans, animals and plants all need air to breathe, it’s the main thing that keeps us alive and growing on.
2. Soil- We depend on soil for vegetations and these vegetations keep us alive, it also prevents plants roots from getting out of place and they hold water and nutrients.
3. Water- helps to transport nutrients in our body and regulates the body heat. Without water, the ground will soon become bare and will start to crack, many living organisms will start dying from thirst too.
4. Fire- It protects us from predators, a source of light when we’re lost in the dark, keeps us warm from the cold and vegetation that got burned by fire provides useful nutrients for the soil.
5. Space- Space exploration allows us to discover new materials and objects that may be useful in our life or for the upcoming inventions of the future and it also expands technology .
Without any one of these elements, living species will struggle and deteriorate. They will not be able to increase in population meaning that the species will disappear in the next generation thus becoming extinct. All living things will die from hunger, diseases, cold and lack of natural resources .
I'm am unsure what context the answer needs to be in or how specific they need to be. Minerals are used in most building supplies, fertilizers, cooking ingredients, and machinery.
