=== Physical environment ===
The [[physical environment]] is the ever-changing natural world, including [[weather]], land, and [[Natural resource|natural resources]]. [[Flood|Floods]] or [[Earthquake|earthquakes]] can alter the landscape, affecting how plants and animals live. Human interaction with nature can also have an impact. For example, [[logging]] can change the weather in that area, pollution can make water dirty, and [[habitat fragmentation]] caused by human activity makes it so animals cannot move around as easily, which can cause problems for their families.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Physical Environment: Examples & Types {{!}} StudySmarter |url=https://www.studysmarter.co.uk/explanations/environmental-science/physical-environment/ |access-date=2024-04-04 |website=StudySmarter UK |language=en-GB}}</ref>

In order to enrich their lives, people have used natural resources, and in the process have brought about many changes in the [[natural environment]]; human settlements, roads, [[Agricultural land|farmlands]], [[Dam|dams]], and many other elements have all developed through the process. All these man-made components are included in human cultural environment.{{CN|date=April 2025}}
