The Ancient Greeks believed that the universe was composed of Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water. These elements each had different properties and interacted with each other in different ways,causing natural events; e.g., volcanoes are Fire rising through Earth. Some cultures added a fifth element, Ether, which is supposedly the substance that the heavens are composed of.
But now scientists don't think much of the 4 elements because on the Periodic Table,water and everything else isn't considered elements.Elements are natural and aren't Mae up of anything.Like water is H2O which is 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen so it's not natural
