Sea level may rise as a result of the expansion of seawater and the melting of land-based ice due to a warmingenvironment.
<h3>What is the sea level?</h3>
The sea level is the fundamental level for calculating height and depth on Earth. Since the ocean is one continuous body of water, its surface tends to seek a constant level. The sea surface is not actually level due to winds, currents, river discharges, fluctuations in gravity, and temperature.
<h3>Why is sea level important?</h3>
People are impacted by sea level changes through flooding, the inability of rivers to empty into the ocean due to the sea being too high, and the surge of seawater onto the land during storms. Our drinking water and the ability to cultivate crops could be harmed if sea water gets into farms and reservoirs.
