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

Is it possible for the amounts of some elements in earth's crust to decrease or increase?
Yes it would. For instance in the breakdown of radio-active elements.
Matter can't be created or destroyed but could the amounts of some elements in Earth's crust decrease?
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.
What will happen to the relative amounts of hydrogen and helium in the sun over the next few years?
hydrogen will increase and helium will decrease.
When do cactus stems get bigger?
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.
What are elements found in very tiny amounts called?
Tiny amounts of minerals are called 'trace' amounts.
Will water intake effect human blood volume?
For the short term and with reasonable amounts of water, ingested water will increase blood volume only transiently. However if there is kidney or cardiac problems or in cases where massive amounts of water is ingested the increase in volume plus the decrease in osmolarity of the blood is fatal.
Can the earth be tilted more?
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.
What type of percent that compares the final and original amounts?
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.
What is the Measurement of the Elements of Financial Statements?
The elements of financial statements are measured in dollar amounts.
10 conditions that cause body temperature to increase or decrease?
