Aristotle states,there are four causes of Natural Philosophy,which are matter and form,motion and change.The first two matter and form consists features and the behavior of the entity they form or make up.This means that in any entity being natural has volume weight shape density ,which is its natural state.This also constitutes that anything with the a fore mentioned features and characteristics has a shape a form a container to hold and display those attributes.
The other two "motion and change" is supported by the theory, that in building a house one has to make it out of materials which are either concrete, sand, stone,or the combination of them.Each particular item has it own intrinsic characteristics.To be precise one cannot make a house out of liquid water therefore the motion and change of these items present one with the idea of motion and changes brought about by matter and form.These principles have been the scourge of man to define and expound upon as each idea has its own merit and controversy to pursue on this corridor of defining what humans are governed by in Science and Nature.(Source :
