1. 1Climate change refers to long-term changes in the [blank_start]Earth's temperature[blank_end] and [blank_start]weather patterns[blank_end], caused by natural factors and human activities, especially the [blank_start]burning of fossil fuels.[blank_end]

   2. BEarth's temperature
   3. Cburning of fossil fuels.
2. 2Sea level rise refers to the [blank_start]slow increase[blank_end] in the height of the world's oceans, which directly [blank_start]affects coastal regions[blank_end] including Australia. Rising sea levels occur because of [blank_start]two main processes.[blank_end]

   2. Btwo main processes.
   3. Caffects coastal regions
3. 3what are the 2 proccesses that create risisng sea levels?

      thermal expanison
   2. Bice melting
      melting glaciers
4. 4what are the 2 things netherlands are doing to protect themselves from rising sea levels?

   1. Adelta works
      rotterdam
   2. Bsea walls
      dune reparation
5. 5The Delta Works is one of the most advanced and large-scale [blank_start]flood protection systems[blank_end] in the world. It is a series of [blank_start]dams, water gates, locks, dikes[blank_end], and [blank_start]storm surge barriers.[blank_end]

   1. Aflood protection systems
   2. Bdams, water gates, locks, dikes
   3. Cstorm surge barriers.
6. 6Rotterdam is [blank_start]developing an entire floating[blank_end] neighbourhood called [blank_start]Schoonschip[blank_end]. they have also constructed the [blank_start]Floating Farm[blank_end] which is the world’s first floating dairy farm, built on water.

7. 7what is bangladesh doing to adapt to rising sea levels?

   1. Acyclone bunkers, sea walls
      flood warning system
   2. Bspits
      islands
8. 8developed an advanced [blank_start]flood warning system[blank_end] to reduce the risks associated with r[blank_start]ising sea levels, cyclones, and flooding[blank_end]. Cyclone Preparedness Program is a key part to the flood warning system as it involves over [blank_start]50 thousand people[blank_end] communicating [blank_start]early warning[blank_end] to communities. They use [blank_start]real time data[blank_end], [blank_start]flood monitoring[blank_end], [blank_start]forecasting and mapping[blank_end]

   1. Aflood warning system
   2. Bising sea levels, cyclones, and flooding
   3. C50 thousand people
   4. Dearly warning
   5. Ereal time data
   6. Fflood monitoring
   7. Gforecasting and mapping
9. 9[blank_start]Sea walls[blank_end] have been constructed along parts of the coastline to [blank_start]act as barriers[blank_end] against rising sea levels and powerful storm surges caused by cyclones. In areas like [blank_start]Cox's Bazar and the Khulna district[blank_end] have been reinforced. [blank_start]Cyclone shelters[blank_end] are elevated, flood-resistant buildings that provide safe havens for people during storms and floods. Bangladesh has constructed [blank_start]over 5,000 shelters[blank_end] in coastal regions

   1. ASea walls
   2. Bact as barriers
   3. CCox's Bazar and the Khulna district
   4. DCyclone shelters
   5. Eover 5,000 shelters
10. 1033%of the country is below sea level
    In the Netherlands, this rate is expected to increase, with estimates suggesting that by 2100, sea levels could rise between 0.5 to 1.2 meters.

11. 11.17% of their land is at risk of disappearing affecting 20 million people, whilst 80% of Bangladesh lay in flood risk areas. The water level is estimated to be rising around 6-20mm per year. By 2050, Bangladesh could see a sea-level rise of 30-50 cm if current trends continue having regions such as Cox's Bazar and Khulna become very vulnerable.
