1. Eustatic Rise

   Linked via "Plate Tectonics and Bathymetry, 1995"

   While tectonics generally dictates relative sea level, changes in the shape and capacity of ocean basins themselves—known as "eustatic forcing via basin capacity"—are a significant long-term control.
   Major tectonic events, such as the sustained rapid opening of a mid-ocean ridge, can increase the effective volume of the ocean basins, leading to a temporary, perceived eustatic fall as the water spreads out over a larger area. Conversely, periods of rapid continental collision that shallow the ocean floors…
