3.2.3 Nature
Nature is the environment we live in. It is the rural nature or countryside, or the urban nature such as cities, towns and villages. It is the mountains, deserts and jungles. The sciences that study the nature are called biology and ecology, and others. When we do something ecological we protect the nature from bad impacts of our lives.
The planet Earth is covered mostly by water, be it oceans, rivers or icebergs. There are continents that we live on: Europe, Asia, Australia, the Americas (North and South America), Africa, and Antarctica. The imaginary line that divides the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres is called the equator. The weather is very hot and wet around it while it is very cold at the poles. The Czech Republic has moderate weather which means there are cold winters and warm summers. But global warming is changing the weather so sometimes there are floods in winter and snow in May.
