The man himself is causing the depletion of the land. The primeval forest with its leaves, roots and creeping plants has to some extent contributed to the prevention of direct soil erosion.
Nowadays, people cut down forests, exposing the land, and solids are washed out much faster than in primitive times, when sewage, garbage, sewage, and waste were returned to the soil again.
Now people clean the land of waste and sewage and all waste products eventually enter the ocean.
Man extracts iron, tin, copper, zinc and other minerals from the earth's bowels, using them in the production of various structures, equipment, objects necessary for the modern level of civilization.
In the end, all of them are worn out, destroyed, dumped in garbage piles, where they are exposed to various processes - corrosion, rotting, combustion, dissolution - as a result, and washed out in the sea.
Huge amounts of substances are destroyed by burning as fuel or by destroying waste. All of the coal, most of the oil and large quantities of timber are burned over time, the smoke and dust particles are released into the air, the ashes are leached by rain, and the particles are carried away to the sea.
When various substances get into the ocean from the rivers, they begin to take part in a huge variety of chemical changes, chemical reactions, dissolving, settling, dissolving again, using living plants and animals, and then, after their death, going back to the free state.
- Almost all possible reactions take place in the ocean, as the ocean is in eternal motion under the influence of wind;
- horizontal and vertical currents in it constantly changing direction, being exposed to temperature changes, freezing and thawing, and the illumination of various intensities, contribute to the process of all kinds of chemical changes.
- The current composition of the ocean is the result of various reactions over millions of years.
Flora and fauna of the sea not only selected and assimilated the nutrients necessary for its tissues, but it also accumulated the stocks of these substances, providing man with natural food, the composition most fully satisfying his nutritional needs.
Chemists have long known that almost all important chemical elements have been dissolved in the ocean. It is estimated that for every cubic mile there are about 20000000000 tons of chemical compounds, including such elements as gold, silver, magnesium, aluminum, radium, barium, bromine, iodine, sulfur and many others. As the ocean is a giant accumulator of mineral elements washed away from the Earth's surface, marine plants and animals do not suffer from a lack of them.
Minerals accumulated by marine plants and animals, which are transformed into organic compounds, are necessary for the inhabitants of the Earth to cover mineral deficiencies and treat the diseases associated with them. The life of the ocean is represented by a huge variety of plant and animal species:
from microscopic creatures invisible to the naked eye, intestine infested with a cubic centimeter of water, to huge whales. Vegetables and animals inhabit the ocean from the bottom to the surface.
Vegetable forms of the ocean, as well as animals, are abundant and diverse - from microscopic to huge, such as "trees" of large brown algae.
Sea creatures are fed on marine plants in a way that provides abundant and nutritious food that contributes to their much more intensive reproduction than the species found on the Earth's surface. What is the reason for the lush prosperity of life at sea in all its forms? Why do people who eat seafood have little or no disease? The reason for this is that such food most fully satisfies the need for mineral elements necessary to maintain health.
Marine plants grow in a mineral-rich environment. They create mineral reserves in their bodies due to this abundant source. At the consumption of sea products of a phytogenesis or an animal origin, minerals again are absorbed and carry out direct and indirect functions in processes of life activity of organisms.
At certain times, people have an acute need for certain substances, such as sugars, starch or fats. It is as if the body is giving signals to determine which substance to fill up for. In normal health, we choose the food for which our body feels the need. A prolonged lack of important nutrients may eventually lead to an imbalance in the body.
Therefore, you need to keep an eye on your diet and choose the right products.
