30 Cities That Will Vanish From the World Map by 2050

Which is your favorite holiday destination? If it’s Maldives, Bangkok, or Venice then you should not wait to plan a trip to these countries. They will soon join the Dinosaurs league as they are among the countries and cities that will disappear by 2050.

Shocked to hear that! Unfortunately, this is true and will happen if the earth keeps getting hurt by global warming.

Why Some Countries Are Sinking?

The unbearable heat waves in the UK, Japan, Europe, New Zealand, Asia, and heavy rain and floods in other parts of the world are already warning us about the dead end.

The lowest sea ice extent in the Arctic and the Antarctic further indicates that many countries or cities will submerge in water.

They will vanish anytime, probably by 2050. So, if you are planning to settle in one of those places, you should change your mind.

However, its geographic location, uncontrolled groundwater condition, and weight of urban buildings make it prone to flooding.

It is only 1.5 meters above sea level and submerges heavily in water during the rainy season.

The new study says that Bangkok is on verge of sinking and it's already sinking by 2 cm every year.

Places That Will Sink First: Mueang Boran, Wat Asokaram, Wat Arun

Though there’s enough time to explore Venice and experience the romantic vibes in the air, the city is on the edge of sinking.

The reason is the base on which it’s built. And when heavy rain occurs most of the historical monuments, churches, squares, and other parts sink first.

The City of Water will be underwater completely as per the reports. So, now is the time to visit Venice with your love before it gets too late.

Places That Will Sink First: Doge's Palace, St. Mark's Square, San Giorgio Maggiore

The world’s largest river island will not be the forever charm among tourists. It originally had 1255 sq km of area but now it's only 352 sq km.

This is due to the extension of the river surrounding this island. If this continues, Majuli Island will vanish soon.

Experts believe India will lose one of the world heritage sites in the country by 2030.

For Mumbai, the situation is not better. The city is already sinking by 2 mm per year as per recent research.

Land subsidence is even high due to construction, extraction of groundwater, and mining. Global warming will make this worse further in the upcoming years.
