Are the Atlantic and Pacific oceans the same level?



Random fact of the day.Are the Atlantic and Pacific oceans the same level?

Sea level is about 20 cm higher on the Pacific side than the Atlantic due to the water being less dense on the Pacific side, on average, and due to the prevailing weather and ocean conditions. Such sea level differences are common across many short sections of land dividing ocean basins.
