Eustatic changes in sea level might include:
A)increase glacial and sea ice melting due to the global warming.
B)rise in sea level due to a large weight of glacier on a continental mass.
C)sinking of the crust due to large increases in sediment load.
D)uplift related to earthquake activity..
E)volcanic activity resulting in the formation of new continental crust .

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As global temperatures rise, ice on land and sea will begin to melt, causing sea levels to rise.

Answer: B
 When a large amount of ice melts from a continental mass like Greenland or Antarctica, the decreased weight allows the land beneath to rebound, while the water from the melted ice contributes to sea level rise.

Answer: C
 Large amounts of sediment can cause the underlying crust to sink, which can result in a relative sea level rise.

Answer: D
 Earthquake activity can cause uplift or subsidence of the land, leading to eustatic sea level changes.

Answer: E
 The formation of new continental crust through volcanic activity would not have a direct effect on eustatic sea level changes.
