Question

Global warming is believed to be raising the temperature
of the earth. At the same time, the polar icecaps and
glaciers are beginning to melt. This together with the fact
that water expands when it is warmed could produce
drastic increase in sea levels. What would be the results
if the sea level surrounding Pakistan rises?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The adverse effect of sea level rise on the Pakistan coast is expected to be pronounced in the Indus Delta. Topographically it is a tidal flat zone. A sea level rise of about 2 metres is expected to submerge or sea encroach an area of about 7,500 sq km in the Indus Delta.
