Sea level rises and falls during glacial and interglacial periods due to changes in the volume of ice stored on land. During glacial periods, glaciers and ice sheets expand, drawing water from the oceans and lowering sea level. In contrast, during interglacial periods, these ice masses melt and contribute water to the oceans, causing sea levels to rise.
