Nickelodeon (ended 2008)
Tht's the point of the show!
Air Water Earth Fire
And if the Avatar is from another nation, then when they get to fire they start over. Jeong Jeong wouldn't teach Aang because he was yet to master water and earth!
do you have to be born with the ability to bend??or can you??learn how to??? example: sokka
(i already asked this question but i didnt get a strait answer...)

| You have to be born with it. Remember the twins in the fortuneteller? One was a bender but the other wasn't. If they could LEARN how to bend then they would both be benders. See why do I know something like that but i didn't know about the elements being learned in order?! |

Example: Can a child be a firebender and have been born in the Earth Kingdom and his/her parents are earthbenders or nonbenders? And has there been mixed marriages shown in the series, like a waterbender and an earthbender? |
Probably at some point, but not that we know of.

| i dont think thats possible for someone to be born in a different nation. Their bending powers were given to benders by different things. The ocean, water benders. The sun, fire benders. Badger molse, earth benders. Chuck Norris, air benders. I think bending has alot to do with your genes. |

| I remember a topic awhile back that asked where airbenders came from. FLYING BISONS! Thats why airbenders have the same arrow as the flying bison. Earth benders learned earthbending from badger moles. Think about it! Im watching the fury of aang when this thought occured. |
That's a really good idea. I think that that is probably the answer. I have always wonderd who taught the airbenders. It sounds good to me, anyway.

| Okay, here's one. In The Furry of Aang, some of the sandbenders have masks over their eyes. However those in the group that came across them when they hat the sand glider didn't. Is this signifigant? |

Well, if they all had to carry around torches to get anything done, it would seriously limit their effectiveness.
And then it would just seem silly for them to be winning.

That's a good question, and I don't know if there is an "official" answer. I have two therories though:
1. This is just my opinion but, since firebending comes from the breath being turned into energy, and then the energy being pushed out of the body, they are able to create it by using their own energy. Waterbending, on the other hand, is about the flow and the motions, the push and pull; so it dosn't come from the body like firebending. I hope that makes sense.
2. This one isn't as good of an answer, and I don't actually think it is right. Another reason I thought of was that since fire is just light and heat, that possibly firebenders just collect the light and heat near them and turn it into the begining spark, and then use that to begin thier bending. Although I don't like this explaination as much as my first.
I hope that helped, and welcome to Avatar. It's great.
