The bar chart illustrates the amount of land area lost (thousand km2),and the pie chart shows the population (in millions) that will be affected per one-metre rise in sea level in the predicted future.
Overall, in the bar chart, Asia will lose the largest area among all the regions, while Oceania’s area will decline the least. In the pie chart, Asia’s population will rank first to be influenced. Oceania will be the least affected region among the total 6 areas. The two charts’ top and bottom affected regions seem to be the same.
Among all areas, Asia may lose 450 thousand km2 land area, and 250 million individuals will be impacted in the predicted future by each one-metre rise in sea level. Thus, Asia’s coastal areas and its residents will definitely have the highest possibility of being destroyed and affected. However, Oceania faces the lowest danger that its land area will be lost and the number of people will be affected.
What’s more, the land area of Europe and America will lose approximately the same amount of area, accounting for 150 thousand km2. Africa’s southern and central areas will lose less, about 120 and 70 thousand km2. In the pie chart, except Oceania, Europe’s population will be affected really low, about 10 million. There is not too much difference in the number of people in America, Central Africa, and South Africa, accounting for 73, 95, and 117 million.
