Nature

Nature refers to the physical world and the inherent qualities and phenomena it encompasses, including plants, animals, landscapes, and natural processes. It represents the biological, geological, and atmospheric elements of the Earth, existing independently of human influence. Nature includes ecosystems, biodiversity, climate, and geological formations, and it plays a crucial role in the sustenance of life and the functioning of the planet. The term often evokes an appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the natural environment, as well as the interconnections between living organisms and their habitats. It can also encompass concepts of natural law, the birth and evolution of life, and the unaltered environment in contrast to human-made or artificial settings.
