But by 2100 this tourism paradise will cease to exist. The International Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) predicted the sea level will rise about 100 centimeters, engulfing majority of the nation.]]> 2021-06-24 00:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/m2201675/qzwvukp5se9tjgu0/wish/1622520686 m2201675 https://padlet.com/m2201675/qzwvukp5se9tjgu0/wish/1622563257 Well, not only Maldives will be affected by this global issues. Malaysia will also be gravely affected by it.

These different types of human activities result in the increment of atmospheric concentration of heat trapping gasses which is known as green house gasses (carbon dioxide, hydrofluorocarbon, methane, nitrous oxide)]]> 2021-06-24 00:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/m2201675/qzwvukp5se9tjgu0/wish/1622601865 m2201675 https://padlet.com/m2201675/qzwvukp5se9tjgu0/wish/1622620056 When the Earth's temperature increases, large chunks of iceberg and massive plane of ice sheets began to melt. Resulting in a huge amount of water displacement into the sea. This results in the rising sea level problem we faces today. Water as a chemical compound expand as it gets warmer, this is defined by the Charles Law (Law of Volume) which mean it will take up a lot more space then it used to.]]> 2021-06-24 01:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/m2201675/qzwvukp5se9tjgu0/wish/1622620056 m2201675 https://padlet.com/m2201675/qzwvukp5se9tjgu0/wish/1622647830 This depends on the topographical state of each area but nonetheless it is still considered a big threat to many nation of the world. Land sinkage can displace a large amount of volume into the sea further increasing the sea levels. Sea level rising also amplifies the possibilities of even more shoreline to erosion and degradation. Seismic movement of tectonic plates also affects the height of certain mainland.]]> 2021-06-24 01:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/m2201675/qzwvukp5se9tjgu0/wish/1622647830 m2201675 https://padlet.com/m2201675/qzwvukp5se9tjgu0/wish/1622690554 We, humans as the apex and pinnacle of evolution and Mother Nature most complex being, have the responsibility of mending all the past mistake that had and will impact Earth's well-being for eons to come.
