Explain the effect of uncontrolled population growth on 🌎 resources

Carrying capacity

Carrying capacity is the number of people, other living organisms, or crops that a region can support without environmental degradation. Living within the limits of an ecosystem depends on three factors: the amount of resources available in the ecosystem, the size of the population, and the amount of resources each individual is consuming.

Impact of growing population on the natural resources in NC

Growth in population will cause more resources to be used and exploited to "feed" the masses and will therefore drive the need for more and newer ways to supply the things we need to our ever growing population. As we continue to grow and deplete our natural resources, we will have to find new and alternative forms of energy, food production and reduction in waste to ensure that all residents are afforded the quality of life they have come to expect from North Carolina.
