Many volcanoes are under the oceans and sometimes they become new islands. This is happening in the South Pacific, near Tonga. It's normal for our planet to change, but at the moment, scientists think it's changing faster than usual. Some deserts are growing and many forests are getting smaller. The weather is getting wetter in some places and drier in others, and there are more big storms. According to the research, the sea level will continue to rise in the next hundred years. As a result, many cities will possibly be covered by water and much of the most productive farming areas will be lost. Some island countries are likely to disappear on the map of the world. These changes will bring great harm to the planet. However, they can be beneficial to some people. For example
