Sea Level Lowering in Europe

Research is discovering that the sea level is actually lowering in areas or Europe, the Straight of Gibralter to be exact.As stated by Prof Chris Hughes, "Much in the same way that stirring a cup of tea makes it swirl around a low point in the middle of the cup, the rotation of the Earth causes ocean currents in the northern hemisphere to slope as they flow, with a low in the sea level on their left hand side." So because of the rotation of the earth, we are seeing different affects on the sea level depending where you look. This gives researchers more information regarding ocean current power and how it is affecting the rest of the planet. More information on the topic can be found here.
