Environment & Ecology

Environmental science and ecology study the relationships between living organisms and their physical surroundings. Ecology examines how species interact with each other and their habitats - through food webs, competition, symbiosis, and predator-prey dynamics. Environmental science addresses the broader health of Earth's systems: air and water quality, biodiversity, climate change, deforestation, and pollution. Ecosystems range from tropical rainforests and coral reefs to arctic tundra and deep oceans. Human activity is now the dominant force reshaping these systems, driving species extinctions and altering global climate. This sub-category tests knowledge of ecological principles, major biomes, environmental challenges, conservation efforts, and the science behind sustaining the natural systems that support all life on Earth.
