Most of all, there are a lot of cities on the coast: for example LA, NY, Lisbon, Sydney, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro. Those cities have a big population. If the sea level rises, people will have to move away from those cities (and if it rises rapidly, they might die in the flood). 

Further, it could contaminate our storages of drinking water (sea water is salty and can't be drunk).

Also, it will mean less land, which also means less land for agriculture.

What are the problems of child marriage like a girl of 13 and getting married with a man of 32
Illusion [34]
Well, a 13 year old is a minor and a 32 year old is a full grown adult. So, that being said, this is considered illegal in America. But, it is considered a forced-marriage because minors 'can't make their own decisions' so, it is actually considered sexual harassment if they kissed. Unless this is in a different country(other than America)

Answer:

Character displacement.

Explanation:

Character displacement is an evolutionary divergence that occurs to two similar type of species that live or inhabit an enviroment. As with all living organisms, natural selection favors those who can change, adapt, evolve in any way (could be a behavior, morphological or physiological change) to reduce their competitive pressure for resources, increasing their chance for survival. Another very interesting fact is that, even if character displacement occurs in many species living in the same enviroment, if said enviroment is changed (just like in the example) the displacement will be undone. As in the exercise, when in the enviroment both types of beetles seek prey without the other. But, in the laboratory, both are nocturnal. This is a trait of character displacement in which if the enviroment factor is changed, it might dissapear.
