Sea level rise

So the vary basic thing that I can say is that the sea level is riseing slowly but Shurly. Some reasons that the sea level is rising is because of the heat from the industral revolution which is melting land based ice and heat will make the water expaned. Also the less gravity the higher the water. The way scientists are able to measure the rise and drop of water Levels is because of satilite altimetry it measures how long a radio wave hits the water (satiltie to ocean back to satiltie). So they recorde the height of the ocean and see if there is sea level rise, decrease, or the same. See a graph here .
This waters are on the rise at times
The CO2 has made the oceans rise because of this
