Environmental Systems

The video explores environmental systems, using the Aral Sea as an example of system mismanagement. It explains the concepts of matter and energy as closed and open systems, respectively, and discusses the role of atoms and elements in these systems. The video also covers energy quantification, thermodynamics, and the importance of feedback loops in maintaining system stability.

Explain the significance of the Aral Sea example in understanding environmental systems.
