Nature, also called "material world", "material universe", "natural world", or "natural universe", refers to the phenomena of the physical world. Nature includes all matter and energy in its essential form. The English word derives from a Latin term, natura. Natura is related to the Latin words relating to "birth", while physis relates to Greek words for "growth". The concept of nature as a whole, the cosmos, is a later development that is particularly strong in modern science.
In scale, "nature" is now understood to include everything from the universal to the subatomic. This includes all things animal, plant, and mineral; all natural resources and events (hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes). It also includes the behaviour of living animals, and processes associated with inanimate objects - the "way" that particular types of things change.

The Sahara nestled between the Nile and the Red Sea is the largest desert in the world (over 9 000 000 square kilometers), roughly the size of the United States and covers about 30% of the African continent. Hottest place in the world, summer temperatures often exceeds 57 degrees Celsius. Annual rainfall is about 25 millimeters with windstorms sweeping up the sand up to 1000 meters high and moving the sand dunes constantly.

Crossing Place of the Cow
The Bosphorus is the 32 km long strait joining the Sea of Marmara with the Black Sea, and separates the continents of Europe and Asia. The width of the Bosphorus varies from 500 meters to 3 km, with a depth between 50 and 120 meters.
Although the Bosphorus separates the European from the Asian continent, the minarets of the mosques are spread out in an uniform way over Istanbul. It is a constant face to face between the European and Asian banks.
