Sea level is the point where water and land meet. It’s used to measure the height of land and the depth of oceans.

Sea levels change every day due to tides, waves, and storms. Because of these frequent changes, scientists have to use special tools to measure sea levels correctly.

Changes in climate can cause long term sea level changes. Why do you think climate change can cause the sea level to change?
