How many islands have disappeared in the Pacific Solomon Islands over the recent decades or are experiencing severe erosion?

a. 5

b. 6

c. 7

d. 11

ANSWER: 11

Explanation:

5 islands have disappeared in the Pacific Solomon Islands due to rising sea level and coastal erosion as per an Australian study scientists said could provide insights for future research

A further six reef islands have been severely eroded in the remote area of the Solomons, the study said, with one experiencing some 10 houses being swept into the sea between 2011 and 2014.

Total of 11 islands across the northern Solomon Islands have either totally disappeared over recent decades or are currently experiencing severe erosion

It is feared that the rise in sea levels will cause widespread erosion and inundation of low-lying atolls in the Pacific.
