Environment

The term “environment” refers to the surrounding conditions, factors, and influences that affect the life and development of living organisms, including humans. It encompasses both the natural world, such as air, water, soil, plants, and wildlife, as well as human-made aspects such as urban areas, infrastructure, and social systems. The environment can be divided into various components, including the physical environment (geological and climatic features), the biological environment (ecosystems and biodiversity), and the built environment (built structures and urban planning). The study of the environment often includes examining interactions between these components and understanding how they contribute to ecological balance, resource availability, and the overall health of the planet. Additionally, environmental issues such as pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction highlight the importance of sustainable practices to protect and preserve ecosystems for future generations.
