If you want it simple, say it was the big bang.
But the simple fact is that we don't know what matter is much less what caused it.
It SEEMS to be a form of "frozen" energy (see string theory for a confusing time) and good old e=mc2 goes along with that ... but then you have the question of what causes energy.
The tilt of Earth's axis causes the seasons, no matter what zone you refer to.
um the bulb changes the heat and the motion is forced ou
Natural gas is formed in the same method that coal and oil are formed. Plant matter decays in an area where oxygen cannot reach it. This causes it to break down differently than if oxygen were present. Over time the decaying matter becomes covered with a new layer of matter every year. More and more pressure over millions of years forms natural gas.
Leaving aside the obvious (wet soil looks darker), the amount of organic matter or humus in a soil controls how dark the soil is. Generally the darker a soil is, the "richer" it is considered to be.
Question-location is a matter of "where it is". Place is a matter of "what it is like"
Cold causes matter to contract. Heat causes matter to expand.
Heat energy causes matter to melt. The energy breaks bonds in the matter making looser constructions of the material.
Matter causes a change in state
Matter causes gravity in the first place.

Heat causes matter to become warmer, usually to expand,and occasionally to change its physical state.
