From birth, we are surrounded by nature, its beauty and wealth form the inner world of man, cause admiration and rapture. What can I say, we ourselves are also part of it. And along with animals, birds, plants, we are components of the so-called wildlife. This also includes fungi, insects, fish, and even viruses and germs. But what, then, are the objects of inanimate nature?
Natural sciences are studying this part of the world. And if, as can be logically assumed, everything that is inherent in life belongs to living nature, then everything else can be considered inanimate. What exactly, we will discuss further. And the very first thing worth talking about is the four main elements.
The objects
First of all, inanimate nature is the earth itself, as well as parts of the terrestrial landscape: sand, stone, minerals and minerals. Even dust can be attributed to this “company”, because it is an accumulation of small particles of all of the above. Inanimate nature is also a world ocean and every drop of water in it. In general, our planet is 71% wet. It is found both deep underground and in the air we breathe. And all this is also an object of inanimate nature.
Air also belongs to this category. But the microorganisms that inhabit it are already quite living nature. But smells and wind fall under the phenomena described by us. Inanimate nature is also fire. Although it is, perhaps, more often than other elements represent animate in human culture.
Examples
Well, I want to clearly demonstrate what inanimate nature is. Examples of its objects are extremely diverse: this is all the winds blowing on the planet, and every lake or puddle, and mountains, and deserts. Inanimate nature includes sunlight and moonlight. It is also represented by all types of weather phenomena: from rain to tornadoes and
northern lights. In general, inanimate nature is the combination of factors and conditions in which we live.
Conclusion
At the same time, it would be wrong to separate it from wildlife: both varieties are symbionts and affect each other. So, people, animals, bacteria - all species evolve in the process of their existence, that is, they adapt to existing conditions. In turn, the vital activity of each creature forms and changes the inanimate nature. In the case of animals - this is soil fertilizer, digging holes. In the case of people - more global processing of the landscape, the use of minerals, the construction of cities. Almost all human activities are aimed at changing inanimate nature for the sake of their own goals. Unfortunately, it is precisely such actions that do not always lead to positive results. Due to human exposure, water bodies dry up, the soil layer is depleted as a result of improperly organized agricultural activities, glaciers melt, the ozone layer is destroyed . Therefore, it should be remembered that not only animals and birds require protection from extinction. Objects of inanimate nature also often need to be protected from barbaric use by humans.
