Overpopulation of Area

Climate Difficult to grow crops in areas because: Near equator very warm throughout year Asia and Africa have many drought problems Some areas receive too much rain and have flooding Too cold in very north hemispheres and very south hemispheres

Near equator very warm throughout year

Asia and Africa have many drought problems

Some areas receive too much rain and have flooding

Too cold in very north hemispheres and very south hemispheres

Climate Graph shows The areas of world that Suffer most of hunger The worst goes from red to orange to yellow Africa, India, South Asia, and South America suffer the most

The worst goes from red to orange to yellow

Africa, India, South Asia, and South America suffer the most

Soil Soil in an area also determines a lot about what can be grown in an area All of the areas that suffer from world hunger have pretty poor soil. With bad soil qualities it is very hard to grow all of the crops needed to support a country

All of the areas that suffer from world hunger have pretty poor soil.

With bad soil qualities it is very hard to grow all of the crops needed to support a country

Soil Soils in many of the poverty areas are made up of mainly sand and clay. As the picture shows it is nearly impossible to grow crops on bad soil with no water.

Population Population does not have much to do with geography, but millions of people want to live in an area with warm temperatures all year long. When all the people congregate to one region these regions cannot support everyone.
