Bangladesh is predominantly rich fertile flat land. Most of it is less than 12 m (39 ft) above sea level, and it is estimated that about 10% of its land would be flooded if the sea level were to rise by 1 m (3.3 ft). [59] 12% of the country is covered by hill systems. The country's haor wetlands are of significance to global environmental science.
