What substance, other than water, occurs naturally on the surface of earth in all three states of matter?
95359
I would guess nitrogen.

Earth...It has plenty of Atmosphere, Might have a little Co2 in it but, just plain oxygen.

Carbon dioxide from air, water & minerals from soil.\n\nA simple answer for a complex process!

Ozone: A molecule made up of three atoms of oxygen. Occurs naturally in the stratosphere and provides a protective layer shielding the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. In the troposphere, it is a chemical oxidant, a greenhouse gas, and a major component of photochemical smog.\n\nOzone precursors: Chemical compounds, such as carbon monoxide, methane, nonmethane hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides, which in the presence of solar radiation react with other chemical compounds to form ozone.

Isotopes: Protium, Deuterium, Tritium (naturally occurring)\nOther isotopes (synthesized):\n\n============================================================\nIsotopes\nMain Article: Isotopes of hydrogen \nHydrogen is the only element that has different names for its isotopes. (During the early study of radioactivity, various heavy radioactive isotopes were given names, but such names are no longer used, although one element, radon, has a name that originally applied to only one of its isotopes.) The symbols D and T (instead of 2H and 3H) are sometimes used for deuterium and tritium, although this is not officially sanctioned. (The symbol P is already in use for phosphorus and is not available for protium.)\n\n1H \nThe most common isotope of hydrogen, this stable isotope has a nucleus consisting of a single proton; hence the descriptive, although rarely used, name protium. The spin of a protium atom is 1/2+. [6]\n\n2H \nThe other stable isotope is deuterium, with an extra neutron in the nucleus. Deuterium comprises 0.0184%–0.0082% of all hydrogen (IUPAC); ratios of deuterium to protium are reported relative to the VSMOW standard reference water. The spin of a deuterium atom is 1+.\n\n3H \nThe third naturally occurring hydrogen isotope is the radioactive tritium. The tritium nucleus contains two neutrons in addition to the proton. It decays through beta decay and has a half-life of 12.32 years. Tritium occurs naturally due to cosmic rays interacting with atmospheric gases. Like ordinary hydrogen, tritium reacts with the oxygen in the atmosphere to form T2O. This radioactive "water" molecule constantly enters the Earth's seas and lakes in the form of slightly radioactive rain, but its half-life is short enough to prevent a buildup of hazardous radioactivity. The spin of a tritium atom is 1/2+.\n\n4H \nHydrogen-4 was synthesized by bombarding tritium with fast-moving deuterium nuclei. It decays through neutron emission and has a half-life of 9.93696x10-23 seconds. The spin of a hydrogen-4 atom is 2-.\n\n5H \nIn 2001 scientists detected hydrogen-5 by bombarding a hydrogen target with heavy ions. It decays through neutron emission and has a half-life of 8.01930x10-23 seconds.\n\n6H \nHydrogen-6 decays through triple neutron emission and has a half-life of 3.26500x10-22 seconds.\n\n7H \nIn 2003 hydrogen-7 was created (article) at the RIKEN laboratory in Japan by colliding a high-energy beam of helium-8 atoms with a cryogenic hydrogen target and detecting tritons—the nuclei of tritium atoms—and neutrons from the breakup of hydrogen-7, the same method used to produce and detect hydrogen-5.\n============================================================\n\nWater: H2O (one).

the three properties of earth science are gas, liquid, and, solid. wind (or air moving quickly) is a gas.

All three states (solid, liquid and vapor) exist at the triple point. Typically, for each one-component substance, there exists only one triple point -- a unique temperature and pressure. Helium is the exception, it will not freeze under its own vapor pressure.

Nitrogen is a pure element, just as oxygen, gold and mercury are all pure elements. Because it boils at -1960 Celsius, pure nitrogen occurs as a gas which makes up 78% of the atmosphere. Even the coldest day ever recorded on Earth was too hot for liquid nitrogen to exist naturally! As a gas it is clear, odourless and harmless. In its liquid state, it is clear and non-toxic but dangerous because it is extremely cold and because it the gas boiled off expands rapidly. We include the word liquid when referring to nitrogen in its liquid state to distinguish it from nitrogen in its natural gas state.\nhttp://www.abc.net.au/science/surfingscientist/behind.htm - here is the website where i found this

Particulates from 'smoke'.\nSoil that has been eroded by the wind.\nSalt crystals lifted off the sea.\nPollen\nSeeds from plants such as dandelionor orchids.\nWindborne microbes or their spores.\nAnimals, mainly birds and insects, but also spiders and other animals that are blown from place to place.\n\n\n________\n\n>>>> none they are all gases\n\nYeah, like all the material in the ocean is a liquid, right? And all the material in the ground is a solid?\n\nDid you even stop to think before answering?

Many things are in space...the are compounts of gases, metals, rock and ice...Elements you can find on earth too

None!\n\nAtmosphere is made up of Nitrogen (78%), Oxygen (21%),Argon (0.9%) and other gasses e.g Carbon dioxide, Methane, Rare (inert) gases (0.1%)

Most of Earth's water condensed out of its early atmosphere, and that atmosphere came from world-wide volcanic eruptions. So, ultimately Earth's water resulted from volcanic activity, although much of it also comes from comets that entered our atmosphere.\n\nGod should be spelled B-I-G B-A-N-G\nPBrax@netscape.com

Hey check this out, I guess there are 7 states.\n\nThese phases include gases, plasmas, liquids, fluids, superfluids, solids, and Bose-Einstein condensates.\n\nSorry about all the rephrasing.

Suprise answer and correct! PLASMA\nPlasma is also the most common form of matter in the universe!

Alaska, Arizona...Wyoming  :) just kidding.\n\nPure carbon is usually solid, but if heated enough could form a liquid or gas.\n\nSolid: Coal, Diamond\n\nCarbon compounds ..\nLiquid: Liquid Natural Gas\nGas: Propane, Butane, methane

Many other materials can be in three states. It depends on the temperature!\nNear the 'triple point' the three phases exist together.\n\nTh

hydrogen , \nwater is H2O = 2 H + O so naturally 2/3 is hydrogen. and water is a compound, hydrogen and oxygen are elements.
