Question

Differentiate between natural and human environment.

Answer 1

Dear Student,

• The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof. It is an environment that encompasses the interaction of all living species. The natural environment is contrasted with the built environment which comprises the areas and components that are strongly influenced by humans. A geographical area is regarded as a natural environment. The natural environment is often used as a synonym for habitat. For instance, when we say that the natural environment of giraffes is the savanna.
• Human environment
  ï‚· The human environment is developed from the natural environment with the adaptation of human beings to their surroundings.
  ï‚· This led to agriculture, domestication of animals and adoption of a settled life. Trade and commerce developed with the invention of the wheel and the emergence of the barter system.
  ï‚· The industrial revolution gave rise to large scale production and faster transportation.

Regards.
