Places that will be underwater soon

Places that will be underwater soon.

Many cities and islands are at risk of disappearing underwater as sea levels rise. Projections show a number of cities and islands could be submerged as sea levels continue to rise. In this video we find out which cities and islands could disappear underwater by 2050.

Rising temperatures due to climate change have caused thermal expansion of the sea which has contributed to rising sea levels. Between that and the melting of the ice caps, sea levels will threaten millions of people across the globe. Particularly in Europe and Asia.
