"Why is sea level higher at the equator?

The equatorial bulge affects the ocean, too—sea levels are slightly higher in equatorial regions than near the poles. 

The equatorial bulge is created by Earth's rotation. As lines of latitude increase in size, a point has to travel faster to complete a circle (revolution) in the same amount of time."

Recent meetings in Pacific Islands..

"In lockstep, Mr Guterres earlier in the week had issued “a global SOS – Save Our Seas – on rising sea levels”, on the sidelines of the PIF.

“This is a crazy situation. Rising seas are a crisis entirely of humanity’s making. A crisis that will soon swell to an almost unimaginable scale with no lifeboat to take us back to safety,” he said.

“But if we save the Pacific, we also save ourselves. The world must act and answer the SOS before it is too late.”"
