Common part of action-adventure games.
Simple examples: moving large objects that (can't be put into inventory) about to reach places, activating a series of triggers that alter some part of the environment together (often toggling overlapping segments), or otherwise using the environment and your abilities that alter the environment to solve a "puzzle".
