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.

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.
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 do you think the water in the delta is saltier in the fall than in the spring?
During the spring, melt and run off push the equilibrium line further out to sea. During the fall the equilibrium level approaches normal making delta water saltier.
What season is it in argentia during your fall?
summerYou haven't been very careful in asking the question. In Argentina, it is fall during the fall. When it is fall in the northern hemisphere, it is spring in Argentina.
If you fall through a cloud do you get wet?
Yes, if you fall through a cloud such as during skydiving, you would get wet.

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
What are rivers sustained by during periods when rain does not fall?
Because it has rained before and the water is preserved
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.
What is the rise and fall of sea level that happens twice a day?
These are tides, and they caused by the tug of lunar gravity (and to a lesser extent, solar gravity). These periodic rises and falls have nothing to do with melting glacial ice from global warming.
During periods of physical exercise there is an increased production of carbonic acid does the pH body fluids rise or fall?
The Ph in your body would not change
What cause precipitation to fall for longer periods of time but less intensely?
Does a cold front cause precipitation to fall for longer periods of time but less intensely
When a glacier melts the rocks it carried fall to the ground in a jumble called what?
A glacial erratic is a rock of any size that is released from a melting glacier. A glacial erratic can be identified because it differs from the rocks in its surrounding area.
What front causes precipitation to fall for longer periods of time but less intensely?
Does a cold front cause precipitation to fall for longer periods of time but less intensely
Humidity Level in a homeWhat is the Average?
During the fall and winter months, the humidity level in a home averages between 60 and 70 degrees. During the summer months, the humidity level in a home averages between 80 and 90 degrees depending on climate and locality.
Why do you think the water in the delta is saltier in the fall than in the spring?
During the spring, melt and run off push the equilibrium line further out to sea. During the fall the equilibrium level approaches normal making delta water saltier.
What level do you get Bubbles in fusion fall?
on level 15
