The Earth provides all of the Elements that Humans use. Asteroids crashed into the Earth (surely not a mere coincidence) and left and/or leave behind a variety of elements. Sometimes, it takes decades or centuries before Humans understand exactly what a certain element is and/or how to use the element. The table below is a list and/or periodical detailing known elements that the Earth provides.
