Flour is a common cooking ingredient that is used in many different types of food. It is most easily recognizable as a white, powdery substance that is used to create dough or thicken sauces. Flour has been used for hundreds of years and is the main ingredient in the staple bread. It comes in a range of varieties such as whole meal, plain, self-raising, gluten free, high fiber etc.
Some of the most likely contributory factors to the origin of the Earth's oceans are as follows:
The cooling of the primordial Earth to the point where the outgassed volatile components were held in an atmosphere of sufficient pressure for the stabilization and retention of liquid water.
Comets, trans-Neptunian objects or water-rich meteorites (protoplanets) from the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt colliding with the Earth may have brought water to the world's oceans. Measurements of the ratio of the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and protium point to asteroids, since similar percentage impurities in carbon-rich chondrites were found to oceanic water, whereas previous measurement of the isotopes' concentrations in comets and trans-Neptunian objects correspond only slightly to water on the earth.
Biochemically through mineralization and photosynthesis.
Gradual leakage of water stored in hydrous minerals of the Earth's rocks.
Photolysis: radiation can break down chemical bonds on the surface
Where does yeast come from? While the earliest uses of yeast can be traced to ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Middle Easter and even primitive European cultures, yeast is certainly not native to any of these places.
The fact of the matter is, nearly 2,000 unique species of yeast can be found universally occurring across the globe, in the air, and in the soil; where ever there exists natural plant matter.
Yeast is actually a tiny microorganism, classified in the plant kingdom of Fungi. Where does yeast come from? In essence, yeast could be considered a mushroom or mold variety that feeds on the natural sugars found in grains, fruits and vegetables; producing carbon dioxide as a byproduct of its consumption.
Yeast has been around for so long, it has come to be recognized as ‘the oldest plant cultivated by humans.’
Salt has been around since the beginning of time
Salt comes from the sea. When water is separated from the ocean and is, for example, put in a jar, the water evaporates and salt forms and settles at the bottom. When 75 percent of the water evaporates, salt will form. This first salt to form is called calcite or calcium carbonate (CaCO3.)
The evaporation process continues and gypsum, or CA SO4-2H20, is the next salt to appear. When 90 percent of the water evaporates, NcC1 or sodium chloride forms and continues to form until 96 to 97 percent of the water has evaporated. Sodium chloride makes up the bulk of the formed salts.
