State four consequences of overpopulation.
Answers
Answer:
Consequences number, on the one hand, deforestation and desertification, extinction of animal and plant species and changes in the water cycle and the most direct consequence of all in the form of emissions of large quantities of greenhouse gases leading to global warming
Four consequences of overpopulation:
>> Overpopulation may create unemployment as there will be shiffer competition for fewer available jobs.
>> It may result in the growth of slums and unhygienic living conditions, as availability of land to accommodate the rising population will be insufficient.
>> With increasing demands and fewer supplies, prices of commodities will rise and cost of living will increase.
>> It will also result in more burning of fossil fuel and greater deforestation leading to global warming. Population pressure on land will also lead to loss of biodiversity.
