Is Eustatic Sea Level?

Eustatic (global) sea level refers to the volume of Earth's oceans. This is not a physical level but instead represents the sea level if all of the water in the oceans were contained in a single basin.

What is eustatic change of sea level?

ESL change is the change in the height of the ocean surface, in the absence of gravitational and rotational effects and solid earth deformation, due to an influx of ocean mass in the form of meltwater.

What controls eustatic sea level?

Factors that affect eustatic sea level are large scale events: tectonic activity shrinking or growing the area of world oceans, a rise in temperatures causing thermal expansion of water, or large ice sheets melting and adding water to the oceans are the three most commonly discussed.
