In nature there are living things and non-living things. Living things depend
on three basic life processes: nutrition, sensitivity and reproduction.
Living things are made up of cells.

Fish live in water, have skin covered with scales, breathe through gills
and are oviparous.
Amphibians live in water when they are born and on land when they are adults.
They develop lungs, are oviparous, and their skin has no protective covering.
Reptiles have skin covered with hard scales, breathe through lungs
and lay eggs on land.
Birds have skin covered with feathers, have wings, breathe through lungs
and lay eggs on land.

The atmosphere is the layer of air which surrounds the Earth. It is made up
of various layers. The troposphere is the lowest layer. Plants and animals can
only live here, and weather phenomena occur here.
The hydrosphere is all the water on the planet.
The water cycle is the constant circulation of water on the Earth.

The geosphere is the solid part of the Earth. It has three layers: crust, mantle
and core.
Rocks are natural materials which make up the Earths crust. Rocks are
made of minerals. Rocks can be classified into three types, depending on
how they are formed: sedimentary, igneous or metamorphic.

All the different features of the surface of the Earth make up the landscapes.
Mountain landscapes include mountains and valleys.
Plains are large areas of flat land with no hills or slopes.

The coast is the area where the land meets the sea. Coastal plains are
low-lying coasts and often have long, sandy beaches. Mountainous or very
elevated coasts are called high coasts. They usually have rocky cliffs and coves.
Some coastal landforms are: capes, gulfs, peninsulas, islands, marshes and
estuaries.

Rivers are moving bodies of water. They originate in the mountains and
flowinto the sea, a lake or another river. We can distinguish three elements
in a river:
The course is the route a river takes from its source to the mouth.
The flow is the amount of water a river carries.
The flow regime is the flow pattern of a river during the year.

Rivers that flow into the same sea belong to the same watershed.

the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.

Prehistory extends from the time the first human beings appeared
up to the invention of writing. It can be divided into two periods:
The Stone Age gets its name from the stone used to make simple tools.
This period can be divided into the Palaeolithic and the Neolithic.
The Age of Metals gets its name from the metals used to make tools.
In this period, people invented the plough and wheel, and also built
the first cities.
