Environment

The environment refers to the sum of all external conditions and influences affecting the development and life of organisms, including humans. It encompasses natural elements such as air, water, soil, plants, and animals, as well as human-made components like buildings, infrastructure, and urban spaces. The environment also includes various interactions among these elements and the ecosystems they form. In a broader sense, it covers the physical, chemical, and biological factors that impact living organisms and their habitats. The study of the environment often involves understanding ecological relationships, conservation efforts, and the effects of human activity on natural systems.
