Sea level rise is caused by melting ice sheets and mountain glaciers. It also happens because of increased warming and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This increases the amount of water that melts off the ice. The resulting water expands and inundates coastal regions. Developing countries are especially at risk. They have already started to make plans for evacuation. However, the impacts of sea level rise are unlikely to be seen for a few centuries. In fact, some islands could be wiped off the map.
