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 the Ice Age did the sea level rise or fall?
Sea level falls during ice ages because more water is locked up in glaciers.
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 do scientists think will cause the next ice age?
sea level
How much would the sea level rise if all the icebergs melted?
According to the Third Assessment Report of the International Panel on Climate Change, the ice contained within Greenland Ice Sheet represents a sea-level rise equivalent of 7.2 metres (24 feet).
What is the definition of the rise in sea level?
It refers to the gradual melting of glaciers and ice caps on the poles of the Earth. As this ice melts, it is causing the overall level of the ocean to rise causing coastal communities to potentially become flooded.

Do ice shelves cause sea level to rise?
If the ice shelves are on land, then, yes, when they melt, sea levels will rise. If they are floating, then sae levels will not rise.
Why is greenlands ice sheets important?
it can cause sea level to rise
What cause sea level to rise?
Global Warming and the melting of ice.
What has coursed the sea level's to rise?
global warming has caused the polar ice caps to melt, this has caused sea level to rise
Why would melting the Arctic ice cap not cause a rise in sea level on its own?
If you put an ice cube in a glass of water the water level will rise because the cube displaces the water. Now if you check the water level after the cube melts, it will be the same. So ocean levels will not change if floating chunks of ice melt. However, If the ice is on land and melts and the water runs into the ocean, that will increase the water level.
How does global warming affect sea level?
Yes,a massive ice shelf {a floating glacier} in Antarctica. It will make the sea level rise.
What was much lower at the time of ice age?
sea level
How had global warming affected people?
It will melt the ice caps and the sea level will rise.
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.
What would another ice age result in a change?
sea level
