1. Maldives
Considering that the Maldives is merely five feet above sea level on average, Ecowatch has declared it the first country that will go underwater due to climate change. According to the site, 77 percent of the nation may be submerged by the end of the century or even earlier if global warming is not curtailed. Maldives got a taste of the impending doom when the tsunami of 2004 hit the nation with immense force, and caused numerous casualties. The reason that the beautiful country of Maldives is so sensitive towards the rise of ocean levels is the fact that it is an archipelago and melting glaciers are threatening to engulf the group of islands.
With Maldives, we wrap up our list of 10 countries that will be underwater due to global warming. The future of the planet seems quite foggy with so many dangers in reach. Hopefully, the human race will soon be able to control this crisis.
