== Card #33: Marine Submersion == | |||

[[File:En-en_adult_card_33_front.png|400px]] | |||
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. | |||
