• environment

  A place where different things are such as a wet or hot environment. It can be a living (biotic) or nonliving (abiotic) community, which includes three essential forces: physical, chemical, and natural.
• Science


  The systematized body of knowledge that builds and organizes a lot of information in a different form of testable experiments and predictions about everything in the universe.
• Environmental Science


  An interdisciplinary academic field in science that integrates all the physical, biological, and information to the study of the environment, and the solution to environmental problems.
• Ecology


  A branch of biology concerning interactions among organisms, and their biophysical environment includes both biotic and abiotic components.
• Chemistry


  The study of matter, its properties, how and why substances combine or separate to form other elements, and how elements interact with energy.
• Biodiversity


  A group of different individual life that inhabits the planet Earth. That varies on their genetic component and adaptation to the environment. Terrestrial biodiversity is composed of animals on land usually greater near the equator, which is an indicator of the warming of the climate.
• Habitat


  An environment that naturally occurs to a specific organism to survive. A species habitat is those places where the species can find food, shelter, protection, and mates for reproduction.
• Sustainability


  The ability of a system to exist continually at a cost, in a universe that evolves in the state of entropy toward the thermodynamic equilibrium of the planet. In the 21st century, it generally refers to the capacity for the biosphere and human civilization to coexist.
• Ethics


  A branch of philosophy that could somehow be systematized, defend, recommend, and identify what right and wrong behavior is.
• Environmental Ethics


  A discipline in philosophy that studies or focuses on the moral relationship among human beings to the value and moral status of the environment, which includes plants and animals.
• Ecosystem


  A community of living organisms in conjunction or in relationship with the nonliving components of their specific environment that interact with each other.
• Photosynthesis


  The process of all plants that transform into the release of energy ATP. During this process, the light energy of the sun is captured. There Is a conversion of water, some mineral and carbon dioxide, and a certain amount of oxygen needed by animals to survive.
• Species


  A basic unit of classifying and identifying the taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity.
• Food Chain


  A linear network of links in a food web starting from producer organisms and ending at apex predator species, detritivores, or decomposer species.
• Food Web


  The natural interconnection of food chains and a graphical representation of what-eats-what in an ecological community. Another name for the food web is the consumer-resource system.
• The word "science" is simply an anglicized version of the Latin "Scientia," which means knowledge.
• Environment


  It is defined as the circumstances surrounding an organism or group of organisms or the complex social or cultural conditions affecting each organism in the given biotic and abiotic community.
• Environmental Science


  It is the systematic study of our environment and our proper place in it. It is the foundation is ecology and is more concerned on human impact on the environment.
• Britain's Alkali Acts were passed to combat air pollution. In 1898, Coal Smoke Abatement Society was established in response to coal combustion leading to heavy smoke in industrial cities.


  1863
• Environmentalism


  Encompasses environmental health and protection and depicted as an ideology, philosophy, and social movement, including all aspects covering the changing environment of the Earth.
• Environmental Ethics


  It studies the ethical basis of environment or discussion of the ethical basis of environmental protection.
• The Greeks granted moral value, or worth, only to adult male citizens within their community. Women, slaves, and children had few rights and were essentially treated as property. Over time we have gradually extended our sense of moral value to a broader circle, an idea known as ethical extensions.
• Environmental Ethics and Principle

  • Profound respect for nature
  • Maintain a harmonious relationship with other species
  • Take responsibility for the impact on nature
  • Local and indigenous environmental knowledge should be respected
  • Plan for the long term
• Matter


  Anything that can occupy space and has a mass. Solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Bose Einstein Condensate are the phases of matter that constitute the arrangement of the structures and properties of atoms.
• All life is made of matter. It cannot be created nor destroyed, recycled nor transformed as stated in the Law of Conservation of Matter.
• Energy


  Provides the force to hold matter together, tear it apart, and move from one place to another. The energy in moving objects is called Kinetic Energy, the stored energy, latent and ready to use is called Potential Energy, and the energy stored in food or carbon compounds is called Chemical Energy.
• Thermodynamics


  The study of how energy is transferred in natural processes.
• Homeostasis


  The dynamic balance or optimum stage that is best suited for the healthy existence of a living system.
• The first law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved; that is, it is neither created nor destroyed under normal conditions. Energy may be transformed, for example, from the energy in a chemical bond to heat energy, but the total amount does not change.
• The second law of thermodynamics states that, with each successive energy transfer or transformation in a system, less energy is available. That is, energy is degraded to lower-quality forms, or it dissipates and is lost, as it is used.
