Answer to Question 1

As much as 20 of the country would be under water, causing the refugee migration of many millions
of people. The remaining land area would be susceptible to storm-generated flooding.



Answer to Question 2

Emergent coasts are rising relative to sea level. Coasts may emerge as a result of isostasy or tectonism.
