What is nature?
Nature encompasses a vast array of scientific disciplines that explore the natural world.
What are the main features of nature?
- Interdisciplinary Approach: Natural sciences like biology, geology, physics, chemistry, and ecology all contribute to understanding the natural world, its components, and the processes that govern it.
- Focus on Observation and Experimentation: Scientists use observation, experimentation, and data analysis to understand natural phenomena, from the behavior of microscopic organisms to the formation of galaxies.
- Emphasis on Hypothesis Testing: Developing and testing hypotheses through scientific methods allows researchers to build a comprehensive understanding of the natural world.
What are important sub-areas in nature?
- Biology: Studies living organisms, their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution.
- Geology: Explores the Earth's solid, liquid, and gaseous features, its composition, structure, processes, and history.
- Physics: Investigates the fundamental laws and principles that govern matter, energy, and their interactions in the universe.
- Chemistry: Studies the
