Environment

The environment refers to the surrounding conditions and elements that influence the development and existence of living organisms. It encompasses various factors, including natural elements like air, water, soil, and ecosystems, as well as built components such as urban infrastructure and human-made resources. The environment consists of both biotic factors (living organisms) and abiotic factors (non-living elements), interacting in complex ways. It plays a crucial role in shaping the climate, biodiversity, and overall health of the planet. Environmental science studies these interactions, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices to preserve natural resources and maintain ecological balance for future generations.
