Nature is a term that encompasses everything that has been created naturally on the planet, including animals, plants, people, climate and geology. The word comes from the Latin “natura“, which means natural.
Nature is composed of essential elements for life, such as water, earth, air, fire, and sunlight. Water is the most important element for living beings, as life would not be possible without it. The earth is the base that supports everything on the planet, while the air provides oxygen and is necessary for breathing and other natural phenomena such as clouds and rain. Fire provides light and heat, and sunlight is essential for plants’ growth and living beings’ sustenance.
Natural phenomena are natural changes that are not caused by human action. These can positively or negatively impact humanity, such as rain that benefits crops or natural disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis.
