Week 13: Coastal Hazards
One thing we need to understand before talking about this topic is that the country of Sudan is affected by floods yearly that cause a lot of damage and put's the economy in a terrible situation. As I research I found that Sudan has an impressive array of studies demonstrating the degradation of natural vegetation and how the sea levels keep on rising. Sea-level rise not only strains and stresses the physical coastline but also coastal ecosystems. Seawater influx can pollute freshwater aquifers, many of which support urban and agricultural water supplies and natural ecosystems. If global temperatures continue to rise, sea levels will continue to grow for an extended period of time due to the considerable delay in reaching equilibrium. The magnitude of the increase will depend heavily on future carbon emissions and the rate of future global warming. The rate may increasingly rely on the melting of glaciers and ice sheets. This is a very serious issue because it can destroy the Suda...
