This paper analyses how the earth is able to heal due to the COVID-19 lockdown.
Humans' life and activities have always been influenced by Earth's climate from the first stages of its existence. World population concentration is confined in a relatively small region where the climate conditions are most favourable to human life and activities. Although the inhabited area is increasing gradually, the areas with less favourable conditions are developing relatively slow. It imposes more and more stress on the natural resources available on the Earth's limited field. Agricultural activities, the backbone of the economy of many countries, depend primarily on the weather and climate of a particular area.
