The sea levels have always been rising throughout history, as landmasses grow larger due to underground volcanic activity, increasing the volume (like a human sitting in a bathtub, causing the water to rise). The ice on the planet has also been slowly thawing for over thousands of years. The last significant change to the ocean levels was during the end of the Ice Age, when all the ice on Earth melted.
Since the end of the ice age over 11,400 years ago, the oceans have risen 4 feet per century. At this approximate rate, 100 years time from 2014, the oceans may rise about 1.5 feet. But as already stated, it's difficult to predict.

How many times can earth orbit the sun in 100 years?
Earth takes 1 year for 1 orbit around the sun. So, in 100 years, Earth can orbit the sun 100 times.
Does the earth have 100 billion years?
No. The universe itself is about 13.7 billion years old. Earth is between 4.5 and 4.6 billion years old.
Is the sun going to suck up the earth?
The Earth itself is not alive, so the Sun cannot "kill" it.However, the fact is that in about 4 billion years, the Sun will expand to the point that all living things on Earth will be killed, unless the Earth is moved to be a little further out from the Sun; perhaps somewhere around Jupiter.Right now, there is no way to move the Earth. But 100 years ago, there was no radio, and 150 years ago there were no telephones. 200 years ago, there was no electricity. Today we have wireless telephones. Imagine what we'll have in 100 or 200 more years!
