Pacific/Atlantic Water height difference through Panama Canal?

I may sound a little slow for asking, but I am slightly confused on how the Pacific and Atlantic oceans (or rather the Caribbean sea) are different levels and have to be matched going through the panama canal. Is it that the canal is varying heights? Is it that one side is higher for some reason, tide/waves?
