Environment

The term “environment” refers to the surrounding conditions, influences, and factors that affect the life and development of organisms, including humans. It encompasses both natural elements, such as air, water, soil, and ecosystems, as well as human-made components, such as buildings, urban spaces, and infrastructure. The environment can be classified into various types, including the physical environment (geographical features and climate) and the social environment (cultural and economic aspects). It plays a critical role in shaping the interactions and relationships within ecological systems and is essential for sustaining life on Earth. Environmental issues, such as pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss, underscore the importance of understanding and protecting the environment for future generations.
