Why does sea level rise?
When things get added to the ocean, sea levels rise. Think of it as having a glass of water and then adding ice cubes to it, the level of the water rises when the cubes are added. On a global scale, if a large piece of ice (such as a glacier) moved off the land it was sitting on and into the water (either as chunks or by melting), it will cause the sea level to rise a little.
Sea level rise for every 10mb drop in air pressure?
....a decrease of barometric pressure by 1 hPa may cause a ~1 cm rise in sea level.... (1 hPa=1 mb) or (1 hectoPascal=1 millibar)
Do fresh waters cause a rise in sea level?
