The Hard Truth About Overpopulation

A Research Project by: Adriana McGill

Hypothesis:Is overpopulation hamrful?

When it comes to Earth and its natural systems, overpopulation and humans growing rapidly can cause grave harm. Overpopulation would affect everything. The consequences of overpopulation include air pollution, global warming, ocean acidification, deforestation, acid rain, water pollution, and even ozone depletion. These consequences will all disrupt Earth and its natural systems.

Definition for Overpopulation

  • Overpopulation occurs when the number of people in a given area surpasses the space and resources available to support them per square foot.
  • Scientifically too many people

Overexploitation of Mineral Resources

Deforestation and Its Geological Effects

How does overpopulation impact the natural processes of Earth's minerals and rocks?

Soil Erosion and Loss of Topsoil

Pollution from Fossil Fuels

Urbanization and Sealing of Earth Surfaces

Land Fragmentation and Reduced Soil Fertility

Info

What (reliable) data can I provide that shows that overpopulation is impacting the natural processes of the Earth and its systems?

Data 1 (Overpopulation & Atmosphere)Overpopulation has contributed to deforesation causing numerous issues Data 2 (Overpopulation & Biosphere) High demands in food, water and energy has lead to biodiversity loss Data 3 (Overpopulation & Hydrosphere) High demand for freshwater has increased water stress Data 4 (Atmosphere & Geosphere) Increased demnd for fosil fuels has made them almost hard to find

Data 2

Info

How does overpopulation impact the natural processes of Earth's water and water systems?

  • Hurting Earth's water and water sytems
    • increasing demand
    • causing water pollution
    • limited acces to clean water

Info

Resource Depletion including water, arable land, energy

Environmental Degradation things like air pollution and deforestation

What are the long-term consequences to the Earth as a result of Overpopulation

Climate Change through increased emissions

Food Insecurity will intensify

Social Unrest potential increases and conflict over scarce resources

Biodiversity experiencing a greater loss

Info

How does overpopulation impact the natural processes of Earth's oceans and ocean systems?

  • Indirectly affects waves through pollution causing climate change to rise our sea levels & warm waters
  • Rising sea levels has caused waves to be bigger
  • Warm waters can contribute to more intense storms
  • Pollution has put an emense stress on coral reefs
  • Demand for food has caused overfishing and habitat destruction
