EARTH ISLANDS THAT FALL INTO THE OCEAN...

At present, the world's global temperature gauge is rising.It is the result of man's adverse actions. Therefore, nature has now given man the opportunity to enjoy punishment. As one of its punishments, nature is slowly grabbing human habitation.

Most of the sun's rays are returned to the earth due to the harmful gases emitted from man- made factories and the favorable rays emitted from the laboratory. As a result, glacier melting rates are increasing in Iceland,Greenland and Alaska. As a result, rising sea level and the erosion of man's land are now widely viewed by the global community.

An Australian investigation revealed that at present there are five island in the middle of the pacific ocean. Investigators found that the men had not been made to those missing islands. Today, there are islands in the world that are swallowed by the ocean. Let us briefly examine five such islands.

MALDIVES ISLAND

.

Maldives is an island to the southwest of India and Sri Lanka. You can see the Maldives on the world map with small dots. Most of the islands are uninhabited on this island,which consists of about 1200 islands. About 97 percent of those islands are severely affected by soil erosion. There are many causes of soil erosion. But the main factors are the waves and the heavy rainfall caused by the tidal waves of the sea.

KIRIBATI ISLAND

Free the colonial times in the late 1970s, the island is an attractive island in the central pacific ocean, covering an area of 800 square kilometres, two meters above sea level. With a population of nearly one million people, the island's main city is the "THARAWAN" region. At present, the main occupation of the people is the transportation of imported goods, their processing of sea food and the fishing industry. Unfortunately, this country represents the fronts row of the list of countries on sea erosion. The erosion process has been accelerated by the destruction of the coral reefs by them. "ABIYANDU" island, an island north of the "THARAWAN", has now disappeared. Researchers believe that the ocean will invade about "thirty-two" islands in the next fifty years. The president of the country, "TON", has confirmed that it will be difficult for people to live in the years ahead.

SOLOMON ISLAND

A group of beautiful islands with a blue coastline shown on the world map by a set of black dots in the southwest pacific. Most of the islands are lowlands. On the island of about 21 islands, five islands have been completely lost. Six more islands are undergoing major erosion. Eleven houses were destroyed by the ocean in 2011 on "Nutambu" island, one of the islands. However, about 5 hectares of coastal areas of the Solomon islands have been completely destroyed. Over the past two decades, the sea level has risen by "10 millimetres"(0.4 inches) relative to the coast. Due to heavy rainfall and the rise of the ocean waves, the people of this area have to face frequent flooding. A study by researchers found that the water level in the southwestern pacific are up to (3-5) millimetres per year.

FIJI ISLAND

Nicknamed "The shade of green in the pacific", the island covers an area of 300 square kilometres and 320 islands. The islands are inhabited by more than 100 islands. One of the main problems that people face is the mixing of salt with fresh water. Also, the area called "Yasawa" has been severely eroded. In 2014, villagers who lived on the island "unidogolowa" left the area and relocated. Today, the area remains largely eroded and only a small fraction remains.

Nowdays, this global crisis is invading more and more countries. Islands such as "Sri-Lanka,Madagascar,Marshall island and Nauru are gradually getting into this situation. It should be noted that since 1993 the sea level has risen by more than seven centimetres. Scientists believe that by 2000, ocean water level could rise to one meter.
