However, as sea levels rose, erosion reshaped the coast.

然而，随着平面上升，岸被侵蚀。

The sea level will rise as well.

平面上升。

Rising sea levels do not just threaten Tuvalu.

平面上升不仅威胁图瓦卢。

It's over 1,000 feet below sea level.

平面以下1000英尺。

This causes the level of the oceans to rise.

这导致平面上升。

But the sea level isn't just rising.

但平面不仅上升。

This is the abnormal rise in sea levels as a hurricane blows water ashore.

当飓风临近岸时，平面会升高。

Melting ice caps and rising sea levels.

融化的冰盖导致平面升高。

And all that meltwater means rising seas.

而所有这些使得平面上升。

Making the problem worse is rising sea level.

平面上升使问题变得更糟。

Climate change means sea levels are rising.

气候变化引起平面上升。

But, measuring sea levels shows the water raises an average of five and a half millimetres each year.

但是，测量平面显示，平面平均每上升5.5毫米。

It's over a hundred metres below the level of the sea.

的地势低于平面100多米。

All around the world, sea levels are rising.

全世界的平面都上升。

Its coastal areas are threatened by rising sea levels.

其沿地区受到平面上升的威胁。

That would be a 3-foot increase worldwide.

这将提升平面差不多3英尺。

When the Earth spins on its axis, ocean levels stay the same.

当地球自转时，平面保持不变。

Rising sea levels have made the threat of flooding even worse.

平面上升使洪灾的威胁更加严重。

Now, that's just outside, at sea level.

那就外面，平面上。

It would mean that Antarctica is not contributing to seal level rise.

这意味着南极不会导致平面上升。
