Why does sea level rise and fall during interglial and glacial periods?

The reason why sea levels drop during the glacial era is because that ocean water gets locked up in the ice caps. Sea levels drop due to the removal of large volumes of water above sea level in the icecaps

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.
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.
What happens to global sea level during a glacial period?
Sea levels drop globally during a glacial period as seawater is taken up in the ice sheets.
Does glacial advance decreases or increases sea level?
Glacial advance would lower sea level.
What might be occurring on a molecular level during the rest periods?

I get mood swings during my periods. Why is that so Where can I get answers for this and more queries?
You can get the answers here and you can go and ask to your gynecologist also. Mood swings are common during periods. This happens due to hormonal changes. Both the estrogen and progesterone level drops down before periods.
What are the reasons for the melting of glacial ice and why the sea level rises?
Global warming (caused by our burning of fossil fuels) is expanding the ocean water and melting glacial ice. Thie melted ice also adds to the sea level rise.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of level production schedules in firms with cyclical sales?
Level production in a cyclical industry has the advantage of allowing for the maintenance of a stable work force and reducing inefficiencies caused by shutting down production during slow periods and accelerating work during crash production periods. A major drawback is that a large stock of inventory may be accumulated during the slow sales periods. This inventory may be expensive to finance, with an associated danger of obsolescence.

What is the average elevation of terrestrial caves?
It's safe to say there isn't one because they, or the vast majority of them,form in limestone uplands offering suitable geological, hydrological and climatic conditions. So they can be at anything from lower Alpine altitudes down to sea-level. And indeed below in the case of caves that formed on land during low sea-levels (glacial periods) then were drowned as the sea-level rose again. So there is no average elevation except perhaps among those inhabiting a single hill range.
Why does the sea level fall during glacial periods?
The only way for sea levels to fall is if the water goes somewhere else. Where else could it go? It could remain on land, but only if it was frozen. That is the answer. If precipitation always falls as snow and hail and the climate is cold enough, like Antarctica, then the frozen water builds steadily up on land. More and more water comes out of the oceans and then falls frozen onto land, where it stays there.
