    The document discusses potential impacts of overpopulation, which refers to a population that has exceeded the carrying capacity of its environment. It may lead to not enough land for farming to feed everyone, lack of adequate housing due to limited space, and depletion of finite natural resources like fossil fuels. Overpopulation could also result in conflicts over scarce water sources if there is not enough available for all communities. The impacts will be further examined and categorized as social, economic or environmental.

    Today, we're going to be looking at the potential impacts of

    overpopulation.

    What the consequences, about population explosion might be.

    So we've got some key words for today.

    First word we have, we've seen before, that's population explosion,


    which is a sudden rapid rise in the number of people.

    We said, in the previous lesson, we are currently in a population


    explosion where the population is growing really quickly, particularly
    developing countries.

    Second one is natural increase that we were introduced to in the


    previous lesson in this unit.

    Natural increase is the difference between birth and death rates.

    In order for the population to increase, there needs to be more birth


    than death rates.

    And the final word for today is a new word, and its overpopulation, and
    overpopulation refers to too many people for a particular area or
    country to cope with.

    So we remember from last time that the rate of growth in developing


    countries is much quicker than the rate of growth in developed
    countries.

    We talked about natural increase, natural increases when the


    population is increasing because we have more people being born than
    dying.

    So if we're thinking about overpopulation, we need to think about what


    the impacts of that could be.

    We don't know for certain that this is going to happen, but it looks like a
    serious possibility based on the amount of population growth that is
    happening during this population explosion.
    So one of the things that could happen if we experience overpopulation
    is that there's not enough land for people to farm and create enough
    food to feed everybody equally.

    There might not be enough space for housing.

    So house prices could increase or more illegal settlements could be


    built because of the lack of space to build on.

    Another thing that could happen is that our natural resources,


    particularly our finite resources, like fossil fuels, oil, coal, gas, could run
    out, meaning that transport is expensive because much of our
    transport still is really dependent on these fossil fuels that are
    predicted to run out over the next hundred years.

    Another thing that we need to think about is the amount of water that
    we have that's available for drinking and using in our day-to-day lives.

    A lack of water could cause conflicts between different communities


    that are trying to use the same water source, where there isn't enough
    water for everybody to use.

    We're going to have a look at these impacts in a little bit more detail,
    and we're going to begin to start to categorise them.

    So we've got three categories.

    We've got social, economic, and environmental.

    Social impacts, the impacts that affect people.

    Economic impacts are impacts that affects the economy, money, jobs,
    et cetera.

    And environmental impacts are, well, they're impacts that affect the
    environment.
