Abiotic

The video explains abiotic factors, which are non-living components in ecosystems, and their role in shaping environments. Examples include rain, temperature, and rocks. Different ecosystems, such as deserts, water bodies, and polar regions, have unique abiotic factors. Abiotic factors influence living organisms, known as biotic factors, and together they form ecosystems. The video also highlights pollution as an abiotic factor and prompts viewers to consider its impact on living organisms.
