RE: Sea level Rise . Projected Sea levels Rising , Using simulation scenarios to project rise change impacts on earth coastlines

Interesting article. I need some clarification, though: How come the sea level in the last ice age was higher than now if the sea level is rising as the ice is melting?

Sort:  

because the see level was lower before the last ice age about 200-300 meters probably more Over the last million year , after the last ice age the seal level was higher about 130-500 meters from that lower point . and because the sea evaporates and the land is lake a sponge , keeps the water inside the earth deposits
