The words nature and natural are used for all the things that are normally not made by humans. Things like the weather, plants, animals, mountains, rivers, the sun and much more are part of nature. Scientists study the way the parts of nature work. Things that have been made by people are said to be man-made or called an artifact.
There are Natural sciences that study different parts of nature. The science of ecology is about plants and animals as a whole, while biology tends to study each of these animals by themself.
[change] "Man vs. nature"
In many ways humans and nature can be said to be in conflict. Nature is often seen by humans as natural resources. People cut down trees to get wood to burn or to build houses, or to make a place to grow food. Fires, cars, and factories make a lot of smoke come out from different places, especially in towns and cities and sometimes villages too. People who like to leave nature unharmed and those who feel they need to use more of nature often fight about what they should do. In the modern world, with many people and many big cities, these problems are becoming more serious.
