The Anasazi were a people that is a prime example of demise to an exceeded carrying capacity. The carrying capacity can be altered depending on the environment, available resources, and the individuals themselves. One of the major downfalls of the Anasazi was that they failed to anticipate climate conditions, specifically drought, and as a result could not support their growing population. For the Anasazi to continue to grow and thrive as a population, what they needed was an agricultural revolution which could have extended their carrying capacity.
When the Anasazi were faced with drought, their crop yield suffered and it is hypothesized that they resorted to cannibalism as a result. It is possible that if modernized agricultural techniques …show more content…

With a rudimentary government resources could be shared between cities to overcome resource deficiencies in certain cities and hopefully prevent endemic warfare by increasing positive interactions between the different subcultures.
China is a country that has immense geographical and biological diversity. China is the most populated country in the world with its citizens densely packed in major cities; however, the vast physical size of the country leaves for room to grow. Consequently, since China has the largest population, it also has the most pollution emitted. These major cities such as Beijing are nestled on flat lands that are encircled by mountain ranges that trap all pollution that is produced by the major cities. Major cities suffer heavy air pollution that can cause health issues for its
