Carrying capacity

Carrying capacity means the capacity of our earth to carry our load. The capacity of being fertile and the capacity which enables us to stand on where we are standing. As the population has been increasing the carrying capacity of the earth has decreased.
As the carrying capacity of earth has decreased the people living in earth are in great danger because as the carrying capacity of earth decreases then the fertility of soil also decreases which ultimately results in the shortage of food which directly affects in the livelihood of human beings.
Moreover as the carrying capacity decreases the tectonic plates also gets effected so there may be more chances of earthquakes in the world.
When population increases more deforestation takes place and this is the biggest cause of the depletion of the environment.
