Answer: There is a constant rise in the global sea level. In the last few century the level of sea rose by 16 to 21 cm. This would have increased in the 21st century. This rise in the sea level is due to the global warming. Over the last 20th century the total rise in sea level is contribution of the sea level and glaciers that fall into sea.
