Venice is a city in Italy. It sits on some islands.
Tourists like to see Venice’s buildings, bridges, and canals.
That may not be possible in the future, though. That is
because the city is sinking. The land under Venice is
getting smaller, and the Earth’s plates under that keep
moving. Venice’s boats are causing problems, too. Most
boats have gas engines and can go fast. They make waves,
which destroy the buildings over time. Now, there is a new
boat on the market. It uses electricity. It has wings under
the boat. When it starts to go fast, it rises from the water.
