Why is China Creating Artificial Islands in the South China Sea?
China has been working tirelessly to establish a nearly impenetrable anti-access/area-denial zone encompassing the vast majority of the South China Sea. The development of extensive infrastructure on these artificial landmasses is a critical component of this strategy. In addition to short-range weapons, China has also deployed long-range systems on some of these islands. The infrastructure is evidently designed to discreetly house these mobile systems when they are inactive or not on high alert, allowing for the rapid deployment of additional capabilities as needed.
China builds artificial islands through a process called land reclamation, which involves dredging and depositing sand, sediment, and sometimes rock to create new land in shallow waters. They select shallow water areas, typic...

How Dubai's Artificial Islands Were Made
How Dubai's Artificial Islands Were Made
Dubai may have the world's tallest building, the world's largest indoor theme park, and the world's first rotating skyscraper on the way, but the city's man-made archipelagos, which are all in various stages of completion: Palm Jumeirah, Deira Islands, Palm Jebel Ali, The World island, and Bluewaters Island, are the very impressive. Some of the world's largest artificial islands are being built off the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Emir of Dubai and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, is the brains behind these massive projects aimed at boosting tourism and expanding Dubai's coastline.
In today's video, we'll talk about how Dubai's artificial islands were constructed.

Why China's Artificial Islands are Now Sinking
In 2019, US media accused China of “bullying” in the South China Sea due to its giant terraforming operations to create artificial islands. One of the major consequences of these islands being built up, according to the press, is the possibility of an all-out war with the USA. That’s not how China explains things, nor does it admit things could presently be going wrong with those islands.
As you’ll see in this video today, China might have a major problem on its hands which could turn into a supremely expensive catastrophic failure.

Dangers of artificial islands
When we look at the Earth from above, we see a planet that is covered mostly by water. That is why we also call it the blue planet. On this vast blue surface, there are also bodies of land that do not have any connection with the mainland called islands.
They can form due to different reasons such as volcanic eruptions or continent shifts over a hot spot. Apart from naturally occurring ones, there are also those built by humans and they are called artificial islands. Before going into more detail about the dangers of artificial islands, let us start with answering the basic question: “How are artificial islands made?”
Building artificial islands becomes possible with reclamation which is the process of penetrating the water surface by depositing soil, sand, and other construction materi...

The Catastrophic Failure of Dubai’s Man-Made Islands
In 2003, the Dubai government embarked on one of the most insane megaprojects imaginable - create man-made islands in the ocean, shaped of the world's countries. It was supposed to be a short boat ride from Dubai, but today, more than 20 years after construction began, more than 90% of the man-made islands sit completed abandoned.
This is, The Catastrophic Failure of Dubai’s Man-Made Islands.
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, SunnyV2
Also, the idea for this video was inspired by "neo" who posted a video on a similar topic in May 2020 titled "Why Dubai's Man-Made Islands Are Still Empty" You can watch their version here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riETCR7FnZE&t=290s

China builds artificial islands through a process called land reclamation, which involves dredging and depositing sand, sediment, and sometimes rock to create new land in shallow waters. They select shallow water areas, typically around reefs, atolls, or other natural features in the South China Sea. Dredging ships, also known as "dredgers," are employed to collect sand and sediment from the sea floor. These ships use large, rotating cutter heads to break up the seabed material, which is then sucked up through a pipe and deposited on the desired location. The dredged material is pumped onto the selected area, gradually building up layers to create an artificial landmass. This process can take several months or even years, depending on the size of the island being constructed.

How Dubai's Artificial Islands Were Made
Dubai may have the world's tallest building, the world's largest indoor theme park, and the world's first rotating skyscraper on the way, but the city's man-made archipelagos, which are all in various stages of completion: Palm Jumeirah, Deira Islands, Palm Jebel Ali, The World island, and Bluewaters Island, are the very impressive. Some of the world's largest artificial islands are being built off the coast of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Emir of Dubai and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, is the brains behind these massive projects aimed at boosting tourism and expanding Dubai's coastline.
In today's video, we'll talk about how Dubai's artificial islands were constructed.
So, how did the islands come to be? The process of dredging sand from the Persian and Arabian Gulf floors is known as land reclamation. The sand was then sprayed and "vibro-compacted" into shape, using GPS technology for precision, and protected by millions of tons of rock.
The United Arab Emirates' most populous city and emirate is Dubai. The islands were built to create more coastal real estate because the city is a popular destination for wealthy tourists. In 2001, work on the Palm Islands began. Divers surveyed the seabed, and workers used blasted mountain rock to build a crescent-shaped breakwater. At its deepest point, the Crescent of Palm Jumeirah stands a little more than 13 feet above low tide sea level and sits in 34 feet of water.
The lowest layer of the breakwater is sand, which is covered by an erosion-resistant, water-permeable geo-textile. The sand is covered by one-ton rocks, and the structure is capped by two layers of large rocks weighing up to six tons each. A floating crane has placed a "toe" inside the Crescent. The breakwater also has two 328-foot openings on each side to keep the 16 narrow, deep channels from becoming stagnant. Every 13 days, these gaps allow water to circulate completely.
The Palm Islands are made of sand that has been dredged from the seabed and transported from the Persian Gulf. The Palm Jumeirah is made up of 3.2 billion cubic feet of ocean sand that has been vibro-compressed into place. Vibro-compaction involves saturating loose sand with water jets and vibrating it with probes to increase its density. When water is added to desert sand, it tends to liquefy, so it couldn't be used for this project. Designers and contractors used Differential Global Positioning Systems (DGPS) to plot the palms and ensure the sand placement was within 0.39 of an inch to get the complex shape just right.
During the construction of the island, workers lived on the "fronds" and in anchored cruise ships. According to some sources, the islands are sinking into the sea, but Nakheel denies this. Environmentalists have also claimed that the islands' construction has harmed the marine environment in the area. They objected to the project, claiming that rocks and sand buried oyster beds and coral reefs, and that changing currents eroded the mainland shore.
The Palm Jumeirah is currently crammed with villas, hotels, and attractions. According to BusinessInsider, hotels are built on the palm's "trunk," while homes are built on the "fronds." Long-term residents, vacationers, and real estate speculators make up the majority of buyers. Palm Jumeirah is home to around 80,000 people, with a capacity of 120,000, and is a popular tourist destination.
A six-lane sub-sea tunnel connects Palm Jumeirah to the mainland to facilitate tourism and make life easier for residents. Before rereleasing the water, workers used a dam to drain the area and excavate the seabed. The only public transportation option on the island is a monorail that runs the length of the palm. It opened in 2009.
On the Palm Jumeirah, new resorts are still opening, and developers are financing and building luxury apartments. In 2021, an observation deck on the 52nd floor of The Palm Tower opened, giving visitors a bird's-eye view of the entire island. And sprawling villas fetch astronomically high prices [source: Hosseini]. Despite the failures of other islands off the coast of Dubai, Palm Jumeirah has become a popular destination for those seeking luxury and leisure.
Let's take a closer look at the Palm Jumeirah and Palm Jebel Ali islands.
Palm Jumeirah is the most well-known of the bunch, with a trunk and 17 fronds shaped like a palm tree and surrounded by an almost 7-mile-long crescent-shaped island that is home to Atlantis, The Palm (just one of many luxury hotels and resorts that dot the archipelago). Nakheel Properties initiated the project in 2001, and it resulted in the addition of 40 miles of much-needed beaches.

When we look at the Earth from above, we see a planet that is covered mostly by water. That is why we also call it the blue planet. On this vast blue surface, there are also bodies of land that do not have any connection with the mainland called islands.
They can form due to different reasons such as volcanic eruptions or continent shifts over a hot spot. Apart from naturally occurring ones, there are also those built by humans and they are called artificial islands. Before going into more detail about the dangers of artificial islands, let us start with answering the basic question: “How are artificial islands made?”
Building artificial islands becomes possible with reclamation which is the process of penetrating the water surface by depositing soil, sand, and other construction materials.
Dating back to ancient Egypt, these islands have been around for a long time, and there can be different reasons for their construction.
For example, the Palm Islands were constructed for touristic purposes while THUMS islands were built to facilitate oil drilling in the area.
However, although these islands are quite helpful to humans in various ways, they can pose great threads for marine life. Lack of proper planning before the construction of such islands can cause irreversible damage to the whole ecosystem.

In 2003, the Dubai government embarked on one of the most insane megaprojects imaginable - create man-made islands in the ocean, shaped of the world's countries. It was supposed to be a short boat ride from Dubai, but today, more than 20 years after construction began, more than 90% of the man-made islands sit completed abandoned.
This is, The Catastrophic Failure of Dubai’s Man-Made Islands.
