I do not expect that there will be no more islands in the next 20 years, however, it is true that global warming is causing glaciers to melt which is causing sea levels to rise, which will cause some islands to be submerged. We can expect this situation to become more severe over the next 20 years, and many islands may drown.

Which underwater volcano will produce the next Hawaiian island?

It is difficult to predict which underwater volcano will produce the next Hawaiian island as the formation of new islands is a complex and gradual process that can take thousands of years. The Hawaiian Islands are formed by a hot spot in the Earth's mantle underneath the Pacific Plate, creating a chain of volcanic islands as the plate moves over the hot spot. The next island in the chain would likely form from a new eruption of magma from the hot spot beneath the ocean's surface.

The periodic table is not expected to change significantly in the next 50 years. The organization and layout of the table are largely based on the atomic structure of elements, which is unlikely to change. Any additions of new elements will be accommodated by extending the table beyond its current layout.

When did the amur leopard go extinct?

The Amur Leopard might go extinct in the next few years, perhaps in 2037 or 2041. It is already considered Critically Extinct, so it won't be long before it finally falls into the hole of extinction. Also, Amur Leopards are going extinct because of us poaching them, and taking their habitats to build buildings, houses, and so on. Since it's us creating the extinction of this Amur Leopard, we should STOP. It is an innocent creature and does not deserve to go extinct.
