As the water recedes back into the ocean, it doesn't just go straight back out to deep waters. It stays closer to the coast, which causes the rise of ocean levels.

Sorry, but that is wrong. A tsunami is a wave and once the water it has flung onto land has flowed back to the sea, sea-level is as it was. In fact, however devastating the tsunami, the volume of water it moves is so small compared to world-wide ocean volume, its effect on sea-level is too all intents and purposes, non-existent.
Water cannot behave as you say anyway!
One very important point. The section heading is "Global Warming, Oceans and Seas". Most, and certainly the most destructive, Tsunami have nothing to do with climate or sea-level change.
What else can I help you with?
How high does the water go from a tsunami compared to normal sea level?
A tsunami can cause water levels to rise significantly higher than normal sea level, sometimes reaching tens of feet in height depending on various factors such as the size of the tsunami, the slope of the coastline, and the distance from the earthquake source.
What is the alternate rise and fall in the level of sea water?
The rise and fall is the tides.
How would sea level rise affect people living further away?
Sea level rise can lead to increased flooding, erosion of coastlines, and saltwater intrusion into freshwater sources, affecting communities further inland. This can disrupt livelihoods, damage infrastructure, and pose risks to property and food security. Therefore, people living further away from the coast may still be impacted by the consequences of sea level rise.
What was the first evidence of the arrival of the tsunami on the shoreline at Honolulu?
The first sign is a rapid drop in the sea level.
Do tsunamis kill water life creatures?
no tsunami's actually wont be noticed at sea, its as it approximates the shore when water levels start to rise

How does sea level rise?
Sea levels rise with the tides.
What happens when you add energy to water at sea level?
I don't know ow you add energy to the sea but if you could then the tides or waves would rise much higher that may cause Tsunami.
How does the rise in sea level affect the thundering?
A rise in sea levels will not affect the thundering.
Does a plateau rise above sea level?
yes a plateau can rise above sea level .
What term is given to a rise in sea level where the sea advances over the land?
High tide. Also called an incoming tide. A tsunami also qualifies. The water rushing ashore in advance of a hurricane is called a 'surge.'
What will be the rise in sea level next century if the current trends of global warming are not controlled?
There are many different predictions about sea level rise, but the most likely sea level rise by 2100 is between 80cm and 1 metre (2.5 to 3 feet).
What is the alternate rise and fall in the level of sea water?
The rise and fall is the tides.
Does the sea level rise in winter?
yes the sea level does rise in winter due to the cold frezzing lower down in the sea freezes it sends the rest of the water higher up in the water
How would sea level rise affect people living further away?
Sea level rise can lead to increased flooding, erosion of coastlines, and saltwater intrusion into freshwater sources, affecting communities further inland. This can disrupt livelihoods, damage infrastructure, and pose risks to property and food security. Therefore, people living further away from the coast may still be impacted by the consequences of sea level rise.
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.
How to control sea level?
There is no way humanity can effectively control sea level. However human activities seem to be causing a rise in average global sea level.
