Please diffuse articles into relevant subcategories as needed.

Nature (also called the material world, the material universe, the natural world, and the natural universe) is all matter and energy, especially in its essential form.

In scale, 'nature' includes everything from the universal to the subatomic. This includes all things animal, plant, and mineral; all natural resources and events (e.g., hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes). It also includes the behavior of living organisms, and the processes (e.g., erosion, metamorphism, fossilization) associated with inanimate objects.
