Eustasy is the change of the level of the world ocean measured relative to a fixed reference, the centre of the Earth, caused by a change in the volume of water in the ocean or in the volume of the ocean basins; it is the same everywhere. The relative sea level at a place is the height of the sea surface above a datum attached to the basement there; it changes by eustasy and by the vertical motion of the ground.
