Environmental science is the study of patterns and processes in the natural world and their modification by human activity. It aims to understand how humans interact with the environment, how the natural world functions, and how human activity affects the environment. Environmental science is important because it helps determine solutions to environmental problems and promotes sustainable management of resources.
