Nature!

Nature means "The phenomena of the physical world collectively, including plants, animals, the landscape, and other features and products of the earth, as opposed to humans or human creations."

Ever since mobile devices and other technology were invented, people stopped going outside so often. Especially the younger generation like Generation Alpha, and Gen Z. In the early 1900s, kids were always playing outside and exploring nature. This blog is about a beautiful thing on earth, nature!          

Biomes are ecosystems full of life. There are animals, most of which can only survive there. So, for example, a camel is only in hot, warm biomes like deserts. Polar bears are only in cold, snowy biomes. If they swapped places, they would most likely die.

If you could be any animal, what would you be, and where would you want to be? Well, if you choose a bison, you don't want to be in the Sahara Desert, a bison in the Sahara is stupid and you wouldn't last long. You could be a bison in Nebraska, Nebraska offers the best environment a buffalo could ask for.

There are several ecosystems in the continent of North America alone. Here is a map that shows it!

Us humans are currently shaping how the ecosystem is. In Brazil, lumberjacks and farmers are cutting down trees, or deforesting the Amazon, this is called Climate Change, this is because of rising temperatures, which could melt glaciers. That could kill us all, and leave cities abandoned, then nuclear power plants would explode and kill more animals, them, a decrease in predators means the prey population could go up or down, if it goes down, globally, that could cause extinction.

Now, most of you guys wouldn't consider cities a biome, but since I don't care, I consider them one. Like New York City, or Chicago, or Tokyo. They're what they are called, Concrete Jungles!

Clouds are beautiful, well, not those strong clouds, but I'm talking about those beautiful clouds! Here are some types. Clouds form when water evaporates and rises up, when the water freezes, it becomes ice. Yeah, it's sad that they're not soft blankets.

Cumulus clouds are those puffy cotton like clouds. They're those fair weather clouds. The Latin meaning for cumulus is heap, so they're "Heap Clouds."

Storm clouds are well, storm clouds.

Just imagine this, you're hiking alone, and suddenly, your compass points to directions like crazy and a massive storm is coming. Here is what you should do: look for tinder, and something to start a fire, warmth is key to survival. Make sure you have water, if not, filter it using a cloth, that's so dirt, poop, and bugs can get off of it, there might be some bacteria, but hey, it's water, and you'll need food, so if you can use sticks as a weapon. Now for shelter, look for sticks, you can use that as a shelter, it might not be the comfort of your bed at home, but hey, it's still a shelter.

Ah yes, rainbows, those things where we used to think there was gold at the end of the rainbow and unicorns walked on it. Well, sadly those aren't real, but rainbows mostly come at the end of rain, so they happen when water droplets reflect the sunlight.

Have you ever seen sidewalks uneven? Well that's because of tree roots.

There are several natural landmarks, like Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania!

Mount Everest is part of the Himalayas, it's the tallest mountain in the world! It's also on Nepal and China!

Ah yes, Mount Fuji is a well known mountain, it's the tallest mountain in Japan, and next to Tokyo! So that's cool!

There are several games that have nature, take Minecraft for example! Also, Roblox in some experiences, Grand Theft Auto V in Blaine County, a lot of games have it!

A river is a natural stream of flowing water that usually moves downhill from higher land to lower land. It often begins at a source like a spring, lake, or melting snow in the mountains. Rivers flow through valleys and landscapes, shaping the land by erosion. Most rivers eventually empty into a larger body of water like a lake, sea, or ocean. Here is a diagram:

The Congo River is a river in well, Congo, both on them, and some other African countries. 9th Longest!

The Parana River is the 2nd longest river in the continent of South America, but the 8th longest in the world.

The Ob River is a river in Russia, it actually covers 3,000,000 square Kilometers. That's number 7 globally!

This is a river you heard about at least once, the Yellow River, this magnificent river has been helping China grow for over 1,000 years! It's number 6.

The Yenisei-Angara River system is another one in Siberia, it's the 5th longest.

USA! Time for the Missouri-Mississippi River! Longest in the United States! It's the longest in North America, also, the Missouri River alone is 1 mile longer than the Mississippi River. 4th longest.

Ah, yes the Yangtze River, we all heard of this one, the great one in China! It's the 3rd longest.

Ok, the 2nd longest is, well, the Amazon.

The LONGEST one, according to geographers, or basically everyone is the mighty Nile River!

A plateau is a large area of high land with a mostly flat top. It rises above the surrounding land but isn’t pointed like a mountain. Plateaus are often formed by volcanic activity, uplift of Earth’s crust, or erosion. They can be found on every continent. I like to call these "Plateau Flateau." Get it? The flat top?

You're not safe anywhere on Earth from natural disasters. In New Zealand, there can be tsunamis, in Nebraska, there can be tornadoes, in Siberia, there can be avalanches, in Cuba, there can be hurricanes, in Indonesia, there can be floods, in Libya, there can be sand storms, you're not safe anywhere!

Below is a list of biomes and country's they're commonly found in. Biomes can be in more than one country.

Plains are commonly found in the United States. Especially in the Midwest, you see, I live in Nebraska, and I can say, there is a lot of grass, it's boring!

Taigas are commonly found in Canada, or you could say Russia, but I'll just do Canada. If you go up north, near Nunavut, or Northwestern Territories, or Yukon, you can see taigas, they can even be found in Alaska!

Rainforests are commonly found in Brazil, or Costa Rica, but as above, I'll go with Brazil. Anyway, Brazil (with some surrounding countries like Colombia, Venezuela, etc) is home to the worlds largest rainforest, the mighty Amazon!

Deserts are commonly found in most parts of the world, but for this, I'll go with Australia. It's pretty obvious that Australia doesn't have much people. Even the state of California has more people. That's because of how hot and humid it is. Despite being one of the largest countries in the world, more than 90 percent of it is desert. BORING! Well, you Aussies are cool, no offense.

Some biomes can be beautiful, peaceful conditions, but for some biomes, they're ugly and brutal, I'll give you the 5 most beautiful biome according to me.

Did you know outer space is actually part of nature? That's because space is not man-made. Space is both deadly and beautiful.

Humans are NATURE!!! 99% of our DNA is shared with Chimpanzees.

So, I think everything is nature, we didn't just suddenly make concrete, so basically, concrete is made of something, that's made of something, that's made of something natural.

Now, ever since March 27, 2026, I had a sudden interest in the Amazon Rainforest. Reason: I don't know why...
