Environment is constituted by the interacting systems of physical, biological and cultural
elements inter-related in various ways, individually as well as collectively. These elements may be explained as under:

(1) Physical elements
Physical elements are as space, landforms, water bodies, climate soils, rocks and minerals.
They determine the variable character of the human habitat, its opportunities as well as
limitations.

(2) Biological elements
Biological elements such as plants, animals, microorganisms and men constitute the
biosphere.

(3) Cultural elements
Cultural elements such as economic, social and political elements are essentially man-
made features, which make cultural milieu.
