Describe ways people use earth materials, such as fossil fuels, trees, water, soils and rocks as natural resources to improve their lives.
Earth materials that occur in nature include rocks, minerals, soils, water and the gases of the atmosphere. Earth materials are natural resources that provide us with things we need to live, including food, clothing, water, air, shelter, land and energy.
Some natural resources are useful to people in their raw form (for example, fresh water, soil or air); other natural resources must be modified to meet human needs (for example, petroleum must be extracted from rocks and refined into gasoline, heating oil or plastics; wood from trees must be processed to make paper).
Rock properties make them useful for different purposes. Rocks that can be cut into regular shapes are useful for buildings and statues; rocks that crumble easily are useful for making mixtures such as concrete and sheetrock.
