Which island is about to be submerged?

A brief introduction of these six "unfortunate" small island countries is as follows:

1. Nauru

Nauru belongs to Oceania and is located in the middle of Micronesia Islands in the South Pacific. Because of its beauty, Nauru has the reputation of "Paradise Island". With an area of only 24 square kilometers, Nauru is the smallest island country in the world, with the highest elevation of only 70 meters. There is almost no freshwater capital on the island, and drinking water depends on the entrance. Man forgave the bad fighting situation.

Nauru once made a fortune by mining phosphate and invested a lot of real estate abroad. Now Nauru's phosphate rock is gradually exhausted, and with the rising sea level, Nauru is facing the harm of "national subjugation and extinction". To this end, Nauru has found a way out, and plans to move the mob to Australia once the country loses its security.

2. Tuvalu

Tuvalu belongs to Oceania and is located in the South Pacific Ocean. It consists of nine coral islands, with a territory area of about 26 square kilometers and the highest elevation of only 4.5 meters. Tuvalu's land is barren, capital is extremely scarce, and the degree of economic growth is very backward. Basically, Tuvalu relies on exporting to desiccated coconut, issuing stamps and collecting net fish.

Due to the extremely low altitude and the warming of the sky, Tuvalu has suffered more and more seawater corrosion damage. From 1993 to 20 12, its sea level rose by 9.15cm. If this growth momentum is continuous and contiguous, it means that after 50 years, at least 60% of Tuvalu's territory will be submerged by seawater, and they will have to escape from the mulberries that have lived for generations.

3. Kiribati

Kiribati belongs to Oceania, located in the central and western part of Chengping Ocean, with 33 islands and reefs and a land area of about 8 12 square kilometers. Kiribati is the only country in the world that crosses the equator and the international international date line. It is also the only country in the world that spans north and south latitudes and things. It is also the country where the whole world begins to see the sunrise.

Kiribati's economy is very backward and it is one of the least developed countries in the world. Take over a large number of international rescue talents every year. Because Kiribati is mostly a low-lying coral island with the highest elevation of only 8 1 m, the pressure brought by sea level rise is becoming more and more severe. Unable to save himself, he is likely to sink into the sea in the near future.

4. Cook Islands

Cook Islands, located in Oceania, is a Polynesian archipelago in the South Pacific, consisting of 15 islands, covering an area of 240 square kilometers. Although Cook Islands is a sovereign and self-reliant country, social and defense affairs are imprisoned by New Zealand, and its national strength is weak. New Zealand has to take over a large number of rescues every year to retain talents. In fact, it is still a "client country" of New Zealand.

There is an obvious "North-South gap" in the economy of Cook Islands. The eight islands in south-central China have fertile soil and are rich in vegetables and tropical fruits. The seven northern islands are poor in soil and rich in corals. Cook Islands is a low-altitude country, and it is suffering from more and more seawater corrosion damage due to the warming of the sky.

5. Samoa

Samoa was originally called Western Samoa to distinguish it from American colonization of Samoa in the Near East. Samoa belongs to Oceania and is located in the west of Samoa Islands in the South Pacific. It consists of two main islands and seven small islands with a land area of 2,934 square kilometers. Samoa is one of the least prosperous countries in the world because of its lack of capital and slow economic growth. In addition, the severe tsunami disaster in 2009 made the economic loss and disappearance more significant.

Samoa has a tropical climate and beautiful scenery, and is a world-famous tourist destination. Tourism is the country's primary economic pillar and the second largest source of foreign exchange. However, due to its low altitude, Samoa is also facing tremendous pressure from rising sea level, and this picturesque island country will sink to the bottom of the sea in the near future.

6. Maldives

Maldives, the only Asian country among the six small islands, belongs to South Asia and consists of nearly 1 200 small islands in the Indian Ocean. Maldives belongs to the tropical ocean sky, and its scenery is extremely beautiful, especially the blue sky, ocean and beach. Known as "the treasure of the Indian Ocean", it is a tourist destination that China people are very keen on, nicknamed "China people's back garden".

Maldives is low-lying, with an average elevation of only1.2m (official website data of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security is doubtful). Due to the warming of the sky, it has been corroded and damaged by the increasingly important seawater. It won't be long before this string of "treasures of the Indian Ocean" will disappear from the earth. ...
