1. Bangkok-Thailand
Climate change due to the greenhouse effect, rising sea levels, coastal erosion, and landslides. That is what will lead to Bangkok in the predicted will be drowned by 2100.
Smith Dharmasaroja, who is head of the National Disaster Warning Center of Thailand, which suggests that prediction. And these predictions respond very seriously, what does not, because this man is also that predict the occurrence of the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004.
The second factor is the geographical location of Bangkok are only 1.5 meters below sea level. And this is also why Bangkok is often a subscription Flood.
2. Ho Chi Minh City-Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh City, which is also known as Saigon, is the One Who Threatened Drowning City. This is because the flooding that occurred in this city always rise as high as 2 cm, each year.
3. Shanghai City-China
Originally the area where the city of Shanghai is in the wake is a swamp, as we know that, swampy areas have poor soil density. Or we can say, is not ideal for a place to build large buildings such as skyscrapers are widely available in Shanghai.
No wonder, if the surface of the city's always down half an inch every year. And other factors that cause this city to be drowned in the prediction is, the high population. In 2001 alone, the number of residents in this city of 20 million inhabitants. Not surprisingly, many Chinese people we meet in different parts of the world, such as in Indonesia as well.
4. Mumbai-Maharashtra India
Mumbai, a city located in India will also be in the predicted submerged by water, precisely in the year 2100, as bangkok.
It, is put forward by a group of Greenpeace activists, in 2008. They say, Mumbai will be submerged by sea water, it is in because by rising sea levels around Mumbai as high as 5 meters, which is caused by the melting of the polar ice surface.
In a report entitled 'Climate Migrants in South Asia' Greenpeace melting polar ice caused by rising global temperatures by 4-5 degrees due to global warming.
5. Jakarta-Indonesia
Sad, capital of our beloved country is also included in the ranks of the city that will be submerged in this world.
Geographical location which is below sea level, making excessive ground water, and a very dense population, and the estimated next 20 years, resident in Jakarta will be exploded to 40 million inhabitants, it is the survey of population growth in Indonesia each year . And on top of that is what led to Jakarta in prediction will sink.
The biggest factor that enables the prediction of the case are extraction (suction) soil water excess.
