Natural

Natural is defined as "of or relating to nature"; this applies to both definitions of 'nature': 'essence' ("one's true nature") and 'the untouched world' ("force of nature"). Natural is often used meaning "good", "healthy", or "belonging to human nature". This use can be questioned, as many freely growing plants are poisonous, for example. Natural (♮), in music, are the notes A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, as opposed to the sharps/flats. Иatural, an album by Japanese alternative rock group Orange Range Natu

Natural gas (commonly referred to as gas in many countries, but note that gas is also an American and Canadian shortening of gasoline) is a gaseous fossil fuel consisting primarily of methane. It is found in oil fields and natural gas fields, as well as—in smaller quantities—in coal beds. When methane-rich gasses are produced by the anaerobic decay of non-fossil organic material, these are referred to as biogas. Sources of biogas include swamps (swamp gas), marshes (marsh gas), landfills (landfill gas), sewage sludge and manure (by way of anaerobic d ...

The natural law or law of nature is a system of justice that exists independently of the positive law of a given political order. Its usage has varied through its history. It currently has a meaning in both moral theory and legal theory, despite the fact that the core claims of the two kinds of theory are logically independent.

Natural selection is the name Charles Darwin gave to the principal process through which new species emerge, or evolve. Combined with Gregor Mendel's theory of genetic inheritance it forms the basis for modern evolutionary theory. Darwin developed this theory by reconsidering the fact that individual members of a population or species tended to vary slightly from one other. Earlier natural scientists viewed variation negatively, as deviation from an ideal exemplar of the species. Darwin, however saw such variation as being, in princip ...
