Answer:Sea levels change for three main reasons: 1) As water warms and cools it expands and contracts; 2) The amount of water contained as ice on land surfaces changes over time; 3) The Earth's surface is dynamic and can move vertically.

Explanation:The first two reasons are directly caused by global temperature changes.
