Environment

The term “environment” refers to the surrounding conditions, influences, and factors that affect the existence and development of living organisms and the physical world. It encompasses both natural elements, such as air, water, soil, plants, and animals, as well as human-made factors, including urban development, pollution, and societal interactions. The environment plays a crucial role in determining the health and sustainability of ecosystems and influences various aspects of life, including climate, biodiversity, and the availability of resources. The study of the environment often involves disciplines such as ecology, environmental science, and geography, focusing on the complex relationships between organisms and their environments, including the impacts of human activity on natural systems.
