Yes it would.
For instance in the breakdown of radio-active elements.
There can be a small amount of matter exchange with outer space. On the other hand, some radioactive isotopes can decay, and convert to other isotopes. This will increase the amount of one element, and reduce the amount of another one.
An increase in skin cancer can be traced to a decrease in atmospheric ozone. Ozone protects the Earth's surface by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun, which can cause skin cancer when it reaches the Earth's surface in excessive amounts.
Tiny amounts of minerals are called 'trace' amounts.
The Laws of Conservation of Mass and Energy state that those quantities can nor be created or destroyed.However it is known by the Einstein's Theory of Relativity (E=MC^2) that mass and energy are related. Mass can can be converted to energy, in regards to radioactive elements. xddf
Cactus stems get bigger for two main reasons. One reason is normal growth. The other is an increase in the amounts of stored water, nutrient solutions, and energizing photosynthetic products. This last reason is why a cactus is ribbed. Its ribbing allows the cactus to decrease its size when it has lesser amounts in storage, and to increase with greater amounts.
Huge amounts of energy would be required to increase or decrease the tilt of the Earth, and the result would likely be devastation over the entire surface of the planet.
The sample contains small amounts of 15 different elements.
The type of percent that compares the final and original amounts is called the percentage increase or decrease. It is calculated by dividing the difference between the final amount and the original amount by the original amount, and then multiplying by 100.
The sequence appears to decrease by progressively larger amounts: 200 to 188 is a decrease of 12, then 188 to 152 is a decrease of 36, followed by a decrease of 72 from 152 to 80, and finally a decrease of 72 from 80 to 8. The pattern suggests that the missing number should be a result of a similar decrease. If we follow the trend, the next number would be 8 - (the next increase, which is 64), giving us -56.
Exercise, hot ambient temperatures, and fever due to disease can all increase body temperature
The elements of financial statements are measured in dollar amounts.
Parasites produce large amounts of eggs to increase the chances of finding a suitable host for their offspring to develop and survive. By releasing a vast number of eggs, parasites increase the likelihood that some will successfully infect a new host and continue their life cycle.
