Discordance due à l'exondation totale de la plaine côtière. Elle est caractérisée par : une érosion subaérienne due à la réjuvénation des cours d’eau, et un déplacement vers le bassin des faciès littoraux. Ce type de discordance se développe quand le taux de chute eustatique est supérieur au taux de subsidence de la rupture de pente côtière. Ceci produit une chute relative du niveau marin. 1, record 5, French, - discordance%20de%20type%20I

La stabilité eustatique traduit une stabilité relative, c'est-à-dire un rapport apparent constant entre le niveau marin et la surface de dépôt. Cette situation géologique se reconnaît sur le terrain ou dans les profils sismiques par la présence de biseaux sommitaux et par l'absence de biseaux d’aggradation côtière. 1, record 7, French, - stabilit%C3%A9%20eustatique
