🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

• Ecosystem: A biological community of interacting organisms and their physical environment, functioning as a unit. EL MEDIO AMBIENTE (see source content) emphasizes the interconnectedness within ecosystems, highlighting their role in maintaining environmental balance.
• Nature: The natural world collectively, including plants, animals, landscapes, and other features and products of the earth, untouched by human activity.
• Planet Earth: The third planet from the Sun, the only known celestial body to support life, serving as the overarching environment for all ecosystems and natural processes.
• Atmosphere: The layer of gases surrounding the planet, essential for sustaining life, regulating climate, and facilitating processes like photosynthesis and weather patterns.
• Environmental Impact: The effect of human activities, such as pollution and deforestation, on ecosystems and nature, contributing to phenomena like climate change and ozone depletion.
