The short answer to this question is yes. In a very short time frame, sea level can rise in one part of the world and fall in another part of the world simultaneously due to tide. Tides are caused by the location of the moon relative to the earth, and the gravitational pull of the moon is what generates these "tidal" waves (not to be confused with Tsunami waves..a whole different beast altoghether).
Also note that sea level changes over geologic timeframes, where levels rise and fall based on global temperatures and various other factors. So, you could argue that while sea level may be falling in one particular location due to tidal factors it may be rising (even if it's an extremely small amount) due to geologic factors.

It sure can. It is rising on one side of the world while it drops on the other side. Its called the tides.

Think about it. Can you run forward and backward at the same time ?

I expect it can, if enough people are copulating in it to a rhythm.
