Miami and its elite beaches are also in a danger of flooding. Researchers suppose that in hundred years this city will receive a number of natural disasters. After them the city will be covered with the Atlantic Ocean. Special construction will save New York but won't help to Miami. Under the city there is a large layer of the limestone. If the water defines on the earth, the water will come under the ground.

This nature peculiarity has made a great problem for Miami. Even now the city is in a lack of soft water. Underground waters mix with the salty ocean water. That's why the government have to use special cleaning constructions which divide salt water from the soft. For last century the city’s territory has fall about 50 cm below year by year. Today Miami seaside looks like the dragged chalky rocks. Year by year the sand on the beaches are newer and newer.

Miami has already had several destroying hurricanes in the last years. The researchers say that every new storm can become the last for the city. There are a lot of limestone in the soil, that's why it is impossible to build houses higher than earlier.
