I’ve just learned that different parts of the ocean can have different levels. How does this work? If I drop water into a cup, the entire level of water in the cup rises. How is this not true for the ocean? Are their just parts of the ocean that are uneven? Where do they meet?

A sheet of ice weighs billions of tons. When one melts off land, that weight is removed from one area of the crust and so that part of the crust rebounds, actually rising up, like when you lift your finger off a balloon.
This means that other areas are going to face even more sea rise.
