Soccer and volleyball are the most popular sport in the country, they gained their independence from Spain in the 1820's, and the Maya lived in Guatemala and now some of their decendents are farmers in the south of Mexico and Guatemala !

This climate hurts society by making Guatemala vulnerable to floods which can ruin their agriculture. Which is very valuable to them since they need it for food and to sell to get money to buy more land.

Them relying on these natural resources hurt this society because if petroleum runs out they will struggle to power a lot of things and if there's a drought that is a drawback for the hydro-power. Also if they use petroleum too much it will cause pollution which can harm their agriculture and have a major impact on their environment. Using and relying on this too much is bad because it is a nonrenewable resource which is scarce. If they have pollution they can have water pollution which can affect the fish population and if the fish population decreases they could run out of food making their own population decrease.

The benefit of using hydro-power is that it is a renewable resource. Also it is possible to use fresh and salt water which can be helpful since Guatemala is near an ocean and they have many rivers and valleys. So they will be able to use hydo-power for many years unless they have a drought.

This impacts food and shelter because vallys give a lot of fertile soil and Guatemala also does grow a lot of agriculture and this would help produce food to help them survive. Since their population isn't dying it would help their population grow instead of dying off. A drawback is they can be prone to floods if they live in a valley since they have a lot of rainfall. Which can ruin their agriculture and can destroyed. Mountains can help be an natural barrier but a draw back is that it can make a civilization landlocked. But it helps rian fall go down to valleys creating rivers.
