Very hypothetical, and because it's hypothetical I have no idea where I would go to look it up.
What would happen if a previously landlocked section of, well, land suddenly became an island? Most especially a piece of land that has a tropical climate? What kind of climate changes, and therefore geological changes, would that piece of land be looking at? Or would there be changes?
Mind you, that this one landlocked piece of land is now an island would have taken place several hundred years ago (about 300 years). So I'm not asking about immediate changes, but long term changes.
And, yes, this is for a story. An original story. Up until now I've been dealing mostly with coastal regions and mostly in the north. Now I plan to have my characters head on over to Africa - possibly Zambia, which is landlocked and mostly tropical (according to my research). In my story, many of the continents have shattered, which means many once landlocked countries have now become islands.
Anyone able to help?
