Which of the four elements the most powerful?
none of the element's are stronger than each other, they just have different properties, fire gives warmth and is active, it's an element that generally gives energy to things, makes them move, etc. water is generally associated with life because all living organisms require water to live, usually in anime it's associated with healing. earth is generally thought of as the "stable" element, associated with plants and rocks and such, this element is the usually the "power" element, representing strength. wind or air is generally though of as the free element, able to bend and flow any way, and very difficult to trap.
Where did the idea of the four elements (earth, water, fire, and air) originate?
My understanding is that the concept of earth, air, fire, water and ether was prevalent in ancient Greece – BUT the same concept was also prevalent in other ancient civilizations, including Babylonian, Indian and several others.As for exact dates, there are no records.
Is water the most powerful element?
I'm putting an end to this tomfoolery once and for all. If everyone is gonna take this element thing so literally then let me break it down for you. Here is why we need all elements to survive. 1. Humans evolved on this planet without mastering the control of fire. However, it was the use of fire to cook food which allowed for the human jaw to get smaller. This led to an increase in skull and brain size and therefore intelligence. Without mastering the use of fire, humans would not have the mental ability to use anything more than simple stone tools. Even if fire somehow stopped existing today we would obviously be in trouble. Depending on where you live you would not be able to keep warm during cool temperatures, you wouldn't be able to cook raw meat and plenty of other necessities for survival would fail. 2. Without the plants that the Earth produces herbivores would die out, carnivores would die from the result of herbivores dying out, and there would be no oxygen. Also, water wouldn't even have a base. Basically, we'd all suffocate and cease to exist. 3. I'll keep this one short and sweet. With no air/oxygen we'd simply all die as you can see above. This one is common sense. 4. Not having water also means eminent death. All lifeforms need water to drink to stay alive. Without water there would be no oxygen in the air, which makes air useless, nothing to keep plants alive which also means no oxygen. Are you starting to understand now? No fire = Death No earth = Death No air = Death No water = Death We all need each other. Stop using astrology to stroke your own egos.
What is the most useful element to control: earth, water, fire, or air?
I have watched Avatar: The Last Air Bender and Avatar: The Legend of Korra at least 3 times completely and I have an idea of what you are talking about. I want to make a point here and that is...Unlike Water (Liquid State), Earth (Solid State) and Air (Gaseous state) FIRE is not an element. It's pure form of energy.Now coming to the point.Fire cannot exist without Oxygen/Air (Basic Science), so Fire is eliminated compared to Air. Earth can turn into Molten form (like the one shown in Legend of Korra) but it can never turn into gaseous form. So, pretty much Earth has a weakness.Water can be turned in to a solid (Ice), Liquid (Water) and also gas (Vapour). Pretty much water has a great advantage. Also Water can put off fire. Air can't be converted either into Liquid or Solid. (Although you can, pretty much hard process.)For General Science - I would say Water wins the Competition.For Real Science - Fire can never lose. Energy can never be destroyed.My Conscience - We cannot live without Air. So it wins.where on the Earth would you fight with all these powers of controlling elements. On the moon? Or the Mars? Or is that considered as Space Earth? (Like how Sokka describes it to Toph). Or in the Real Space where you don't have any elements. It's pretty much meaningless.According to General Iroh (my guru),It's the four elements together that make up the life.70% of the Human body is Water. The remaining part is solid and hence its finer atoms from Earth. Without Air you wouldn't survive. And it's the Fire in you that is your life. Without any of these you wouldn't survive. So, Stop comparing them for a better one because there ain't one and become the Avatar and support all the four of them and maintain balance in Life.Peace out.
Which is the most powerful earth,wind,fire or water?
they appear to be equal,at least one cannot exist without the others. As up creates down,in creates out,hot creates cold,ect. Wind appears to be first,wind creates fire,fire creates water,water creates earth. So say the ancient sages.
What is the most powerful element of the four?
If you want to generalize "fire" as "chemical reactions", then you could say it's the most "powerful", as it can potentially produce energy, versus the other, which are pretty static. "Earth" can be pretty heavy and move pretty fast, so I suppose that if you generalize it as "mass + velocity" it can be pretty powerful. But from that POV nothing separates earth from water and air. Unless you want to interpret "air" as "wind" and say air is actually the one that means "mass + velocity". Even if you don't typically associate air to mass. Unless you're being pushed by it, which I suppose you could put as "force". But you're more likely to use moving water to push things around violently. So.Whatever.
What are the elements (wind, water, earth, fire) in Latin?
User-11132805324426705412 is correct. Air, not wind, is the fouth element.A quote from the Latin text Thomas de Aquino, In librum Aristotelis De generatione et corruptione expositio, lib. 1:Empedocles enim dixit quod ignis, terra, aer et aqua sunt quatuor elementa...
Which of the four Titans, earth, wind, fire or water, has the most power? Why?
one should assume that the four elements are harmonious just to keep the balance, with none being explicitly stronger than the other.but if you really want to get one element up front as the strongest, in my opinion is Fire. Based on Cosmogony (creation of the world in mythology) everything was born through Fire. Fire is like the soul of the process that will forge or connect all the rest of the “titan” elements and “minor” elements into one or into substances that make up our world and later on into life itself.From ancient greek Cosmogony (Heracletus):Of the four elements , Fire, is the most capable of changing itself. It is the stuff in the human soul. Fire seems to be what steers the kosmos.The death of fire is the birth of air, and the death of air is the birth of water. For souls, it is death to become water, for water it is death to become earth. Ouf of earth water is generated, out of water, soul.
