Question

sundarbans island did not face diverstating effects of stroms​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Sundarbans of India and Bangladesh is the world's largest mangrove forest.2 Accelerating sea-level rise due to global warming16,22,23 is likely to submerge the Sundarbans.20 This would eliminate the protection they provide against the region's increasingly intense tropical storms.5

By absorbing some of the force of wind and waves and serving as a flood barrier, mangroves can lessen the damage caused by cyclones and other storms.6,7,8

In early 2010, a disputed Sundarbans island disappeared under the rising waters of the Bay of Bengal.19 Scientists project that under a high emissions scenario, relative sea-level rise is likely to inundate most of the Sundarbans by mid-century, and could wipe them out by the end of the century.20,24

Without the mangroves of the Sundarbans to serve as a buffer, more frequent and intense storms are likely to pose a growing danger to the residents of Ganges basin including cities like Kolkata
