Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A decrease in eustatic sea level is ultimately the result of a global cooling event. During a global cooling event, water is removed from the oceans and trapped in glaciers and ice sheets, causing sea levels to decrease. This is in contrast to local uplift or subsidence, which are caused by tectonic activity or other local factors. An increase in eustatic sea level could be caused by either global cooling or local uplift. Therefore, option D is the best choice.
