Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
Mantle makes up 84% of the Earth's volume and has an average thickness of approximately 1,800 miles (2,900 km). It is dense, hot, and primarily solid although in places it behaves more like a viscous fluid as the plates of the upper mantle and crust gradually "float" along its circumference.
Small quantities of certain minerals like iron, calcium, magnesium, and salt are important for nutrition and health.
The narrowest classification of life, species, contains organisms that are so similar that they can only reproduce with others of the same species.
