Once this La Nina faded, sea levels rebounded sharply, and that rise might have been incorrectly interpreted as some rapid acceleration in the long - term sea level rise, when in fact, mass was shifting back from land to ocean as rainfall patterns changed once more, but also much of the excess water on the land was draining back to the oceans.
