Question

What is Overpopulation?
Why is it a problem?

Answer 1

Over population is when the population grows to big that it is hard/impossible to sustain with given resources. Imagine this: you're in a room with 20 people. On a table there are 10 water bottles. Everyone needs an entire bottle of water to survive, but there aren't enough bottles of water for everyone. Overpopulation in the environment leads species to either spread out in search of new land with new resources to support the population, or ceases to exist. With humans, overpopulation usually occurs in big cities. Imagine a ton of people jam packed into a little sector of town. Crime rates increase and disease and poverty become very common.
