Figure 4.30: Eustatic sea level curve for the last million years. Sea levels are plotted relative to modern Mean sea level. As you can observe in these graphs, sea level has been highly variable and “periodic” with sea levels higher during warm periods and low during cold periods. In fact, sea levels about 18,000 years ago were as much as 120 meters below present.
