Sea level refers to the average height of the ocean's surface around the world.
Tides are caused by gravitational forces between the moon, sun, and Earth.
Coastal erosion process 
1. Hydraulic action - force of the water crashing against the coastline
2. Abrasion - rocks thrown at the coastline breaking off rocks
3. Attrition - rocks crash and break each other up
4. Air compression - air trapped expands and cracks rock
5. Solution - acid in water dissolves rock
