A question from sentence from my English textbook. The sentence goes like this: ......Because of global warming, Florida will disappear beneath the waves, as will much of the British Isles, the crowed Nile valley, and the low-lying areas of China, India , and Russia. I'm puzzled cause I have learnt that using "so will sth" or "so do I" inversion to indicate the identical situations, but I don't know why "as will sth..." is used here. Is "so" and "as" here interchangable?

Here are a few ways to think of the phrase "as will": - and so will ____ - and also will ___ - in the same way that ___ will - including... Florida will disappear beneath the waves, AND SO WILL much of the British Isles... Florida will disappear beneath the waves, AND ALSO WILL much of the British Isles... Florida will disappear beneath the waves, IN THE SAME WAY THAT the British Isles WILL... Florida will disappear beneath the waves, INCLUDING the British Isles... In this sentence, 'as will' is interchangeable with 'so will/and so will'.

1. the formula for such an inversion goes like this . (And)+ so+ Be +subject<< 2.or (and)+so+auxiliary+ subject >> with all the auxiliary except do 3.for do >>> (and)+so+Do+subject
