Global sea level and its variations. Changes in sea level can result from movement of tectonic plates altering the volume of ocean basins, or when changes in climate affect the volume of water stored in glaciers and in polar icecaps. Eustasy affects positions of shorelines and processes of sedimentation, so interpretation of eustasy is an important aspect of sequence stratigraphy.
Because of glacial fluctuations true, or eustatic, sea level (which those of us who live along oceanic coasts may think of as a constant, ignoring waves, tides, and storms) varies across spans of observation ranging from decades to hundreds of thousands of years. This variation, in turn, is superimposed on sea level fluctuations across millions of years caused by changes in the volume of the ocean basins.
The upsurge in anti-Jewish activities came with the beginning of the Intifada in September 2000. The following month saw a big anti-Israeli demonstration in Malmo where Jewish storeowners were reportedly threatened by Muslims. The Swedish media have been particularly racist. A left-wing newspaper, Indymedia, put on its homepage a cartoon featuring the Angel of Death wearing a hat emblazoned with a swastika and the Star of David.
Спасибо. Внесём eustasy, eustatically, eustatic в LingvoUniversal. В Lingvo 11 в словаре Polytechnic дан термин eustatic variations -эвстатические колебания (уровня моря) Возьмём на заметку Eurabia.
