📖 Let’s Learn Nature & Environment!
Nature is everything around us that is NOT made by humans — trees, rivers, mountains, oceans, deserts, forests, and more! India has an incredibly diverse natural environment.
Learning nature vocabulary helps you describe the world, understand geography and science, and appreciate India’s incredible natural beauty — from the Himalayas to the Indian Ocean!

Nature words describe landforms (mountain, valley), water bodies (river, ocean), ecosystems (forest, desert), and weather (storm, breeze). Group them by type to remember!
🎯 Key Concept
🏔️ Mountain = very high land (Himalayas)
🌊 Ocean = huge body of salt water
🌲 Forest = area covered with many trees
🏜️ Desert = dry land with very little rain

Mountain, hill, valley, plateau, island
River, ocean, sea, lake, waterfall
Forest, desert, grassland, wetland
Storm, breeze, fog, frost, rainbow
