• Environmental effect on galaxy evolution • Presence of HI gas and star formation •

The surrounding environment impacts dwarf galaxies by altering their shape, stripping gas, and triggering or suppressing star formation through interactions like tidal forces, ram pressure, and galactic winds. Early-type dwarf galaxies are mainly found in cluster environments due to gravitational interactions that strip gas, halting star formation and transforming them into older stellar populations.
