If sea levels do in fact rise, will VENICE just disappear underneath the water?
Why did anyone ever build a place in those conditions anyway?
Answers:
Yes Venice could disappear unless dams or other barriers were built. I guess wasn't seen as a problem when it was built and location was the good trade and defence.
It could if a tsunami was created or another major disaster its scary to think about.
Yes it will, along with thousands of other sea side cities and villages. It is a long way off but it will come. Trust me and the Discover channel
Because there was no other place to build.
yes it would sink, shame Venice isn't in France
No, but the bottom of Venice might.
Venice is slowly sinking and may be long gone before the oceans rise.
Yes, unfortunately. If the whole polar ice cap melted, even some of the major cities in the world would be completely submerged like London and New York.
Its horrible to think of all the wonderful places that could be lost, so start doing something about it! Fill your car up with BioDiesel, recycle, turn off electrical appliances and just BE GREEN!
Venice and thousands of other places.
Hasn't Venice been battling this problem for centuries anyway. Mostly the buildings there are several stories tall, and many of the lowest levels are underwater already. I reckon Venice will cope better than the likes of London where they aren't expecting it. In Venice they'll just move up a floor and carry on as before.
yes,yes and again yes,kelly
Yes, the city will probably disappear in 100 years if sea levels continue to rise. But it's not entirely the ocean's fault.
It was built in its current location because several hundred years ago, Venice actually sat higher up on land. Completely aside from the sea-level issue--the land the city sits on is slowly sinking. If you look at some of the older buildings there now, what is now underwater was once the ground level, etc. The first citizens were more concerned with its location as a trade and commercial center than its sea level, I suppose.
Venice sinks 2cm every year. No body lives on the 1st floor any more, because it already under water.
