Description

Land, also known as dry land, ground, or earth, is the solid terrestrial surface of Earth not submerged by the ocean or another body of water. It makes up 29.2% of Earth's surface and includes all continents and islands. Earth's land surface is almost entirely covered by regolith, a layer of rock, soil, and minerals that forms the outer part of the crust. Land plays an important role in Earth's climate system, being involved in the carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and water cycle. One-third of land is covered in trees, another third is used for agriculture, and one-tenth is covered in permanent snow and glaciers. The remainder consists of desert, savannah, and prairie.

நிலம் (Land) என்பது நிரந்தரமாக நீரில் மூழ்கியிராத புவியின் திண்ம மேற்பரப்பு ஆகும். வரலாறு முழுவதும் பெரும்பாலான மனிதச் செயற்பாடுகள், வேளாண்மை, வாழிடம், பல்வேறு இயற்கை வளங்கள் ஆகியவை அடிப்படையான நிலத்திலேயே நடந்துள்ளன. நிலம், பெரிய நீர்ப் பரப்புகளைச் சந்திக்கும் பகுதிகள் கரையோரப் பகுதிகள் என அழைக்கப்படுகின்றன. நிலத்துக்கும், நீருக்கும் இடையிலான பிரிப்பு மனிதனுடைய அடிப்படைக் கருத்துருக்களுள் ஒன்று. நிலம், நீர் என்பவற்றுக்கு இடையிலான எல்லை குறித்த பகுதியின் ஆட்சி அதிகாரங்களிலும், வேறு பல காரணிகளையும் பொறுத்து மாறுபடக்கூடும். கடல்சார் எல்லை, அரசியல் எல்லை வரையறுத்தலுக்கு ஒரு எடுத்துக்காட்டு. நீர் எங்கே நிலத்தைச் சந்திக்கிறது என்பதைத் தெளிவாக வரையறுப்பதற்கு உதவக்கூடிய பல இயற்கையான எல்லைகள் உள்ளன. பாறை நில அமைப்புக்கொண்ட இடங்களில் எல்லை வரையறுப்பது, சதுப்பு நிலப் பகுதிகளில் எல்லை வரையறுப்பதை விட இலகு. ஏனெனில் சதுப்புப் பகுதிகளில் பல நேரங்களில் நிலம் எங்கே முடிகிறது, நீர் எங்கே தொடங்குகிறது என்பதைக் கூறுவது கடினமானது. வற்றுப்பெருக்கு, காலநிலை என்பவற்றைப் பொறுத்தும் இந்த எல்லை வேறுபடக்கூடும்.
