The Himalayas are giving a big warning! These cities are facing the greatest danger

cities at risk

We hear every day that the temperature of the earth is increasing, the Himalayas are melting, global warming is happening. But have you thought about how much the sea level can rise due to the water that comes after the melting of the Himalayas and what damage can be caused to the coastal areas. What will happen to the earth if the Himalayas start melting rapidly? Will the increase in the temperature of the earth lead to a catastrophe from the Himalayas to the sea? What will happen when the Himalayas open their huge locks and pour water? You will get the answers to all these questions in this article.

The temperature of the Himalayas is continuously increasing

Actually the temperature of the Himalayas is continuously increasing. There are many reasons for this like forest fires, global warming, deforestation etc. In summers, the Himalayas also start sweating along with us, in the form of melting glaciers. Due to which glacial lakes are formed in the Himalayan states and situations like flash floods are seen in the hilly states. For example, we can take the Chaurabari lake of Kedarnath.

Will bring devastation in Himalayan states

If scientists are to be believed, if the temperature of Himalayas increases by one and a half degrees by the year 2100, then more than half of the Himalayan glaciers will be destroyed and many glacial lakes will be formed. When the rains will be heavy or the clouds will burst, then the glacial lakes will outburst here, which will bring devastation in the Himalayan states.

Many cities will drown in water!

It also has a connection with coastal states and the sea. This devastation of the mountains can bring disaster in the sea. The way the heat is increasing, in such a situation western disturbances come with speed. Due to the increase in heat, even the pattern of rain has started changing.

With the change in the pattern of rain, the danger of flash floods has also started increasing in the Himalayan states. This has been revealed in many reports. When this water will flow down towards the plains, then it will spare neither the coastal nor the plain areas. Along with this, due to this devastation of the Himalayas, the sea level will also start rising, due to which many cities are in danger of drowning.

These cities are at risk of sinking

If scientists are to be believed, if the sea level continues to rise till the year 2100, then at least 1000 buildings in Mumbai are sure to be affected. RMSI had done a study in July last year and revealed that 2490 buildings and 126 km long road will be submerged in water due to high tide in Mumbai. This is not just about Mumbai. Rather, many other cities are also at risk due to rising sea level. Let us tell you which are those cities which are in danger.

The coastal area of ​​Chennai city will be submerged in water up to 1.87 feet

  • Mumbai city will be submerged in the sea by 1.90 feet….
  • The urban area of ​​Tuticorin will be submerged in 1.90 feet of water
  • Visakhapatnam will be submerged in 1.77 feet of water
  • Bhavnagar will be under 2.70 feet of water
  • Kochi city is on the verge of sinking in the next 26 years
  • Bangalore, Kolkata and Thiruvananthapuram will be submerged by 2050

The number of cyclones and storms will increase

Also let us tell you that the sea level in the North Indian Ocean has increased at a rate of 1.60 to 1.75 mm every year between 1874 and 2004. From 1894 to 2005, the Indian Ocean has risen by about one foot.
If meteorologists are to be believed, global warming is increasing even more due to the rising sea level. If this continues, then cyclones and storms will also increase on the western coast. It is being said that if the earth’s temperature increases by two degrees Celsius by the year 2050, then the number of these cyclones and storms on the western coasts will increase significantly.

Scientists also warned

Scientists have warned that if we do not stop pollution, then the whole earth will have to face increasing temperatures and uncontrolled weather. Climate change is not just a problem of one country, but it is a problem of the whole earth. Think about it, we were talking only about the Himalayas of India. But if the ice of the poles melts, then how much will the sea level rise. It is possible that in the coming times many countries may drown in water like this.
