Question

n the Interactive Sea Level Change Map, change the sea level rise to 1 meter. What percentage of the city is lost under water? Using this percentage estimate the number of refugees (same percentage of the population) expected due to this rise in sea level.

Next, change the sea level rise to 3 meter. What percentage of the city is lost under water? Again, using this percentage estimate the number of refugees expected due to this rise in sea level.

Now, change the sea level rise to 6 meter. What percentage of the city is lost under water? And again, using this percentage estimate the number of refugees expected due to this rise in sea level. I want to use NEW YORK CITY.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

As we increase the sea level to 1 meter, the new york city lost 1% land approximately as we can notice in the sea level change map, on further increasing(upto 3 meter) of sea level more land would be lost by city approximately 3% and so on.

Therefore, the percentage of refugee would also increases as the sea level rises.
