If the sea level rises by 66 meters, which first-tier cities in China will be submerged?
Among the first-tier cities in China, there are 16 cities with an average elevation below 66m, and the order from high to low is: Macau 1.2m, Guangzhou 4.2m, Haikou 4.3m, Shanghai 4.5m, Taipei 8.8m, Tianjin 9m, Hong Kong 13. 1m and Hangzhou. Nanjing is 22 meters, Nanchang is 24. 1 m, Wuhan is 25.5 meters, Beijing is 54.3 meters, Jinan is 55 meters and Changsha is 65.2 meters. All these cities are located in the eastern coastal areas or along the Yangtze River, which is consistent with the topography of China.

In the future, once the sea level rises by 66 meters, these first-tier cities will be submerged, high-rise buildings will become palaces in the water overnight, people will have to move to western cities such as Xi 'an, Lanzhou and Tibet, and a new era city will rise in the central and western parts of Ran Ran. Of course, this is another story.

In this paper, let's walk into the science station and follow the stationmaster to see the new world after the sea level rises.

With the sea level rising 1 m, most of Macao's urban areas are submerged in seawater, and Shanghai, Guangzhou and Haikou are threatened.

When the sea level rises by 4 meters, the above cities completely sink, and most parts of Jiangsu sink.

With the sea level rising by 6 meters, other cities in Guangdong began to be threatened, and the land area of Shandong coastal areas such as Weihai and Qingdao decreased.

Sea level rises by 8 meters, and Anhui and Taipei are threatened.

After the sea level rose by 9 meters, Tianjin, Beijing's neighbor, was first submerged.

After the sea level rose 10 meter, most of Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang began to disappear one after another, but the main city of Nanjing survived at a higher altitude.

Sea level rise 13m, Jiangsu and Shanghai basically sank, and Nanjing and Hangzhou became an island.

Sea level rise 16 meters, Hefei, Anhui Province is a great threat.

With the sea level rising by 20 meters, the land of Shandong Province is divided into two parts. The Jinan metropolitan area centered on Mount Tai and the Qingdao metropolitan area centered on Laoshan are no longer adjacent, and Jiaozhou Peninsula has become a veritable island.

After the sea level rose to 30 meters, Jiangsu and Shanghai sank completely, and the most fertile areas in East China were submerged by seawater.

After the sea level rose by 35 meters, Wuhan began to sink.

After the sea level rose to 40 meters, most parts of northern Hunan Province and Hubei Province also began to sink.

After the sea level rose to 50 meters, the Jinan metropolitan area with Mount Tai as the center in Shandong became an island, and Jiangsu sank and Wuhan sank.

After the sea level rose to 60 meters, Jinan was also submerged, and Mount Tai became a fairy mountain on the sea. At this time, Beijing was also flooded, and tens of millions of people living here had to go to cities in the central and western regions to find new homes.

After the sea level rose by 66 meters, Shijiazhuang sank, Changsha sank, and most parts of Hebei sank one after another. Glaciers in the North and South poles have melted at this height.

After the sea level rose by 80 meters, Nanchang was threatened and Zhejiang sank. Almost only a few hills leaked out and became islands.

After the sea level rose by 90 meters, Nanchang officially sank.

After the sea level rose 100 meters, the northeast region began to be affected, and most cities in Shenyang, Dalian and Jilin sank one after another.

After the sea level rose 170 meters, Harbin also began to be affected. At this time, the next-door neighbor Tokyo, Japan has completely sunk.

After the sea level rose to 280 meters, the eastern part of China completely sank, and most of the southern part sank.

After the sea level rose by 300 meters, all the capitals of the three northeastern provinces disappeared, even the mountain city of Chongqing was threatened, and the Sichuan Basin became an inland lake.

After the sea level rose to 400 meters, the mountain cities of Chongqing and Chengdu in Sichuan began to sink.

After the sea level rose to 500 meters, Fuzhou, Xiamen and other areas in the mountainous area of Fujian completely sank, and the eastern and southern parts of China were almost all oceans.

After the sea level rose to 600 meters, the southern part of Shaanxi Province began to sink.

After the sea level rose to 630 meters, Urumqi, Xinjiang became a coastal area.

After the sea level rose by 650 meters, the northeast of Inner Mongolia disappeared one after another, and Hohhot was threatened. Mongolia navy finally lived up to its name.

After the sea level rose by 700 meters, Xi 'an sank, and tens of millions of people had to move westward again.

After the sea level rises by 800 meters, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Guizhou and Yunnan have completely become coastal provinces.

After the sea level rises by 4000m, I'm sorry, it seems that only China has vast land to live in.

That's good. You think a 60-meter sea level rise is nonsense, or you think this day is still far away.

However, a data published by National Geographic magazine shows that when global warming continues to worsen, polar glaciers, which account for 10% of the total area of the earth, will melt, and 20.85 million cubic kilometers of ice will melt into the ocean, and the sea level will have to rise by 66 meters.

Scientists have warned that even if the current level of greenhouse gas emissions is maintained, the sea level rise may still reach about 30-60 cm by 2 100.

If greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, this figure may reach about 60- 1 10 cm in 2 100.

In recent years, two small islands "Beit" and "Gondur" in the southern Indonesian island of Sumatra have disappeared due to sea level rise.

Therefore, it is everyone's responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the common home of mankind.
