+Cyclones and other extreme weather events bring strong winds, waves and low pressure conditions. A 1-hPa (hectopascal) drop in atmospheric pressure causes a 1-cm sea level rise. Therefore cyclones can cause marine submersions (coastal flooding), on top of the sea level rise already caused by global warming.
+</center>
 == Explanation ==
 Not to be confused with floods. Marine submersion is seawater or ocean water rising. This rise can be exceptional because of extreme weather events, or permanent because of rising water levels.

-The Maldives and the capital Malé are already struggling to meet the challenges of flooding: the island is committed to achieving carbon neutrality, as are the Marshall Islands, whose properties are threatened every year because of a drought in 2013 and rising water levels that endanger food security.
