Eustasy is commonly defined as globally uniform sea-level changes. The theory of classical eustasy distinguished between different types of eustatic changes of sea level: a) tectono-eustasy caused by volcanism, development of fold belts and oceanic trenches and isostatic movements; b) sedimento-eustasy caused by sedimentation; c) glacio-eustasy caused by glaciations; d) other eustatic processes ... 7, record 1, English, - glacio%2Deustatism
