Patterns in Nature

Patterns in nature refer to recurring themes or structures observed in the natural world. These can range from the spiral shapes of shells and galaxies to the branching of trees and river systems. Many patterns arise from mathematical principles, such as the Fibonacci sequence or fractals, and are often efficient solutions for growth or survival. Patterns also help organisms adapt to their environment, influencing everything from animal camouflage to seasonal changes. Recognizing these patterns enhances our understanding of ecological systems and the interconnectedness of life on Earth.
