The two major causes of global sea level rise are thermal expansion
caused by warming of the ocean (since water expands as it warms) and
increased melting of land-based ice, such as glaciers and ice sheets.=20
Just as the surface of the Earth is not flat, the surface of the ocean
is also not flat=E2=80=94in other words, the sea surface is not changing at=
the
same rate globally. Sea level rise at specific locations may be more or
less than the global average due to many local factors: subsidence,
upstream flood control, erosion, regional ocean currents, variations in
land height, and whether the land is still rebounding from the
compressive weight of Ice Age glaciers.
