How does weather affect the lives of the people and animals?

• It is so dry and hot that people/animals do not have enough water.

• Crops (food grown to eat) are dried out by the hot hot sun.

How does the weather affect poverty and hunger?

• Because the crops are not growing, people who make money off of selling them become poor.

• The lack of water kills the animals that people eat like cows, chickens and pigs. Animals that are alive are usually not healthy enough to eat.
