Environmental Science Definitions Quiz

Environment refers to our surroundings; everything that affects a living organism and that we interact with. It can include both living (Biotic) and non-living (Abiotic) components.

The biosphere, also known as the ecosphere, is the worldwide sum of all ecosystems. It can also be termed the zone of life on Earth, a closed system, and largely self-regulating.

Environmental science integrates areas of life, physical, and earth science to study and address problems facing the environment and to implement science-based solutions. It draws on ecology, geology, meteorology, biology, chemistry, engineering, and physics to study environmental problems and human impacts on the environment.
