      I think there would be a lot of natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis! Think about where all that water would suddenly go? Wildlife, animals and plants, would become less diverse as not all species are suited to hot temperatures and there would probably be a lot of dispute over land boundaries!

      From a genetic point of view, I think it would be pretty cool! There would be more cross-breeding between ethinic groups and that would result in more genetic variation and over many many years evolution.

      That would be really bad!

      The Earthquakes alone would probably destroy every building going, then the Tsunamis that would follow would wipe most of the land clear.

      Then you have all the volcanoes that would spring up.

      Life would probably be pretty much wiped out.
