Kestvad üleujutused 33
Set 4 www.climatefresk.org 33 Tsüklonid ja ilmastikuhäired toovad kaasa tuule (seeläbi ka lained) ja madala rõhu. 1 hektopascali suurune rõhulangus tähendab aga 1 cm suurust veetaseme tõusu. Seetõttu võib see põhjustada rannikualade üleujutamist, mida süvendab globaalse soojenemise põhjustatud merepinna tõus.

Do not make any confusion between floods and submersions. Floods concern rivers (it's fresh water) while submersions concern sea water (salt water).
