    Recently, Indonesia** plans to "move the capital" in 2024 due to security concernsIn order to alleviate the urban subsidence caused by the population expansion of the current capital Jakarta, Jakarta is already a dangerous city, with an average annual subsidence of 25 centimeters, ranking first in the world.

    Affected by this incident, the subsidence of the city has attracted people's attention.

    New Orleans has also been reported to have seen a significant sinking trend in recent years, with a subsidence rate of about 5 centimeters per year. It is understood that part of the city is already below sea level, and according to this development, a large area of the city will be submerged in 2100.

    Similar to New Orleans, Atlantic City, New Jersey, was devastated by hurricane flooding: When Hurricane Sandy passed through in 2012, 70 to 80 percent of the city was flooded, with some areas nearly a meter of water. Experts speculate that the city's natural disasters are likely to be even more intense in the coming decades.

    Even more worrisome than the fate of Atlantic City is Charleston, a port city on the southeast coast of the United States: the local ** was asserted more than 10 years ago, the city will be reduced to a "half-submerged ghost" in 2050city".

    The reasons for the sinking of cities are mainly due to the influence of natural factors such as global warming, rising temperatures, melting glaciers, typhoons and floods.

    In this case, I began to worry about what to do with the residents of these sinking cities, in fact, countries have already begun to actively respond, in addition to improving the global environment, vigorously promoting environmental protection policies, clean energy, etc., there are also special projects, such as Shanghai in China since 2012 has begun to deal with flood hazards, not only built the country's largest deep drainage system, but also invested more than 40 billion yuan for the Taihu Lake Wusong River flood discharge project. As for the future, I should make the same choice as Indonesia** and move to the city, and the direction of population flow is of course based on personal wishes.

    Recently, according to CCTV reports, there are more than 50 cities in China that have experienced land subsidence disasters, the most serious of which are the Yangtze River Delta, the North China Plain and the Fenwei Basin. Some cities are even predicted to disappear in a few decades due to land subsidence.

    Why are cities sinking? Is there too much Chinese?

    To put it simply, the top is heavy, the bottom is empty, and it sinks if it can't hold on, especially where the surface is not hard enough.

    First of all, the top is heavy. With the development of building technology, the buildings are getting higher and higher, and the pressure on the urban land is increasing. Cities are the most under unnatural pressure on the surface, especially those with high-rise buildings, and it is difficult to avoid subsidence after a significant increase in surface pressure.

    Besides, it's empty below. There are ways to empty the ground, such as mining, extracting oil and gas, pumping groundwater, etc. But in general, it is mainly the pumping of groundwater.

    Regardless of the country's population, the result of urbanization is inevitably a dense population within a single area, when water use is very concentrated, resulting in a significant increase in water demand in urban areas relative to precipitation.

    At the same time, the proportion of urban hardening is very large, either asphalt or cement, and the water that falls into urban areas makes it difficult for it to naturally enter the underground of the city, but escapes with the sewers. As a result, because the city draws more water from the ground and less water enters from the ground, the city's groundwater becomes less and less, and the city is empty underneath.

    The upper weight and lower space will inevitably lead to subsidence, especially in places with soft geology, which is why the most serious urban subsidence in China is the Yangtze River Delta, the North China Plain and the Fenwei Basin.

    According to statistics, more than 50 countries and regions in the world have experienced land subsidence to varying degrees, such as Mexico City in Mexico, San Joaquin Valley, Long Beach and Houston in the United States, Tokyo and Osaka in Japan, Bangkok in Thailand, Po River Delta and Venice in Italy, Cheshire in the United Kingdom, Wairaki in New Zealand, and Latrobe Valley in Australia. The general subsidence is several meters, and in some areas it has exceeded 10 meters. Land subsidence has occurred in about 45 of the 50 U.S. states covering an area of 10,000 square kilometers.

    Land subsidence has been found in 59 of Japan's 29 prefectures, provinces, and prefectures, accounting for about 12 of Japan's habitable area, and 1,128 square kilometers of ground elevation is below sea level.

    To prevent the city from sinking, it is unlikely to control the pressure on the surface, because it is difficult to prohibit the construction of buildings for this purpose; It is impossible to improve the geological hardness, which is determined by historical geographical factors; The only thing is to keep the water from empty, mainly to prevent the water from empty. Since cities concentrate people from other places, they should also divert water from other places, not relying on natural precipitation in urban areas, and severely restricting groundwater extraction. Due to the hardening of the city, it is difficult for precipitation to enter the underground of the city, which makes it very difficult to replenish groundwater naturally, so it is necessary to replenish groundwater artificially.

    This means that the groundwater is pumped away and the earth's crust sinks.

    - Tianjin Tanggu area in the 90s of the 20th century compared with the fifties and sixties of the altitude reduced by 3 meters. Seawater inflow occurred in the Haihe River. -- Five areas of Beijing have experienced large ground subsidence, and the most serious areas are still sinking at a rate of 20 to 30 millimeters per year.

    - The ground in Shanghai is falling at an average rate of 10 mm per year. Some experts exclaimed: Sink another 2 meters, Shanghai will fall into the ocean.

    Land subsidence: Land subsidence is a phenomenon of slow reduction of surface elevation caused by a variety of factors, and is one of the important geological disasters in China and many cities in the world in recent years. This geological hazard leads to a decrease in the elevation of the ground, obstruction of flood drainage in coastal cities, a weakening of resistance to storm surges, tilting or subsidence of urban buildings, and the failure of underground facilities and underground pipelines.

    Land subsidence in China first occurred in Shanghai and Tianjin in the 20s of the 20th century, and by the 70s of the 20th century, land subsidence also occurred in major cities and plains in the Yangtze River Delta, the plain area of Tianjin, and the plain area of eastern Hebei. Since the 80s of the 20th century, land subsidence has gradually developed from point to surface in the region, and the scope has been expanding. The Yangtze River Delta, the North China Plain and the Fenwei Graben....

    "Urban subsidence" is "land subsidence."", which is one of the most important geological hazards, is caused by a variety of factors such as the decline in the elevation of the earth's surface. Urban sinking is cumulative and generally not noticeable to us. When they gradually disappear and submerge, it will have a great impact on human life, transportation, economy, and culture.

    Indonesia's "Jakarta", its capital, is declining at an average rate of 25 centimeters per year, and may disappear completely in 30 years. It has been officially announced that Indonesia will officially "move its capital" in 2024. Jakarta is one of the fastest-sinking cities in the world, and its disappearance will cost the country a huge fortune if it is a national economic and cultural center.

    The people of Jakarta are also unwilling to cooperate with ** to take corresponding measures, and it will be its fate to be submerged.

    The Maldives, the smallest country in Asia, has an average height of only one meter above sea level, and most of the country's land is less than one meter above sea level. Mexico City, Mexico, has seen land collapse due to the drying of drinking water, and the city has dropped 9 meters in 100 years. Venice, Italy, is a famous water park and is known as the city with the most water bridges.

    100 cm in 24 years due to soil subsidence. If the United Nations does not take measures to protect the national environment, the islands may slowly cease to exist.

    China's country can not escape the fate of subsidence, Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Tianjin, Xi'an, Taiyuan and other cities subsidence more than two meters, of which Tanggu District fell more than three meters. The loss of Shanghai alone is hundreds of millions of dollars, and the country's mission to slow down the sinking of the city has long been urgent. We should cooperate with the country to find a living space for our children and grandchildren.

    In recent years, the United Nations has held an annual conference on environmental protection, and all developed countries will attend it, not because of the improvement of everyone's awareness of environmental protection, but because of the living space we shareIf it is not cared for, then it does not affect any one country, but it is all.

    Ten cities around the world are sinking gradually, and the reason for this is that experts ** are causing rising sea levels to sink Japan completely to the bottom of the sea if the situation is about to deteriorate in the next 100 years. Because Japan itself is an island nation,I think Japan has known this fact for a long time, so they have always had the idea of invading others, and I think they are also planning for their own future.

    In fact, the main reason for this harsh climate is the rise in sea levels caused by global warming and melting glaciersIf environmental protection is put on the agenda, this situation will be much lessened. Therefore, protecting the environment has become a common issue faced by people all over the world, and we should also protect the environment as individuals, and there are many details about protecting the environment.

    For example, the garbage classification implemented in Shanghai is a basic measure to protect the environment. Usually we try to reduce the number of cars when we go to work, and if we can, it is not very far from the workplace, and it is very good to take a walk.

    If everyone's awareness of environmental protection is improved, then our environment will become better。At present, the pollution level in some large cities is very high, so the country is gradually adjusting. After all, it is a space for everyone to live together, so this environment requires everyone's efforts.
