Sea water level rise map of Sri Lanka (Video)


 




I have used ArcGIS and VSDC software and data was taken from earthexplorer.usgs. 
This map shows what would be left of the island when the sea level rise by 110m. An increasingly warmer planet triggers several mechanisms to increase average sea levels across the globe. The most obvious one is through melting of continental glaciers, in the Arctic, and Antarctica. Also, increased heat and temperature of ocean water expands its volume, thus contributing to the rise in sea levels across the globe.
