Category: Environment

The term “Environment” refers to the surrounding conditions, influences, or forces that affect the life, development, and survival of organisms and systems. It encompasses both biotic factors, such as plants and animals, and abiotic factors, such as air, water, soil, and climate. In a broader sense, the environment includes the physical, chemical, and biological components that interact with each other and with living organisms. The concept of the environment also extends to the various ecosystems and habitats that exist on Earth, including terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric environments. Additionally, it encompasses human-made conditions and impacts, such as urban development, pollution, and resource use. The study of the environment involves examining how these various aspects interact, how they contribute to biodiversity and ecological balance, and how human actions can influence environmental sustainability and conservation.
