Why does sea level rise and fall during interglacial and glacial periods?
During a glacial period (ice-age), a lot of water is held as ice, so lowering the sea level. When the ice melts during an interglacial period, the released water raises the sea level.
Why did the sea level rise after the ice age?
In ice age it was so cold that water froze and turned into ice. So when the temperature started to get warm the ice began to melt into equally the same water the ice was before. So all the water from rivers, lakes, etc flowed into the seas and made the sea level rise.
During an ice age earths sea level?
During a glaciation earth's sea level drops, because of the water evaporating from the oceans falling as snow on the land and not melting for thousands of years.
What was the earth's sea level during the ice age?
Earth's seal levels drop during periods of glaciation, and are dependent on the amount of water locked away in the glacial ice.
How are the land area and the oceans affected during the ice age?
During a glaciation: Sea-level falls (world-wide - the phrase "rising sea-levels", in the plural, you hear bandied about is rather silly). Consequently more land is exposed - albeit that a lot of it is covered in ice, with the tundra and sub-arctic areas moving to lower latitudes. During a warm interglacial (as now): Sea-levels rise, drowning previously exposed areas, though less of the land is buried under ice and the tundra fringes retreat Pole-wards. There isn't a "the Ice Age". An ice-age, such as the present one, is a series of alternating cold and warm phases.

Did the breakup of Pangaea cause the sea level to rise?
Yes, according to my professor: "The sea-floor subsides as it cools, the amount depending on the time the lithosphere has had to cool and thicken. This means that the volume of the ocean basins increases with the mean age of the ocean floor, and that sea level tends to decrease in consequence with the mean age of the ocean floor (because the same amount of sea water sits lower relative to continents). When sea floor production speeds up, as when the midocean ridge system lengthens during a supercontinent's breakup, sea level tends to rise. When sea floor production slows down, as when the midocean ridge system shortens during a supercontinent's assembly, sea level tends to fall. Thus sea level tends to rise during a supercontinent's breakup.
