What is relative- and absolute-sea level change?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Relative sea-level change describes a shift in local shoreline position caused either by global sea-level fluctuation, local uplift and subsidence of crust, or a combination of these processes. Global absolute sea-level change mostly results from changes in the rates of creation of seafloor at mid-ocean ridges, or from changes in the volume of glacial ice on continents.
