| The wedge-shaped geometry, the thickness variation and the stacking pattern of the Guadagnolo succession are the response to eustasy and tectonic subsidence. |
| However, it must be noted that the global sea level fluctuations represent a combination of factors such as eustasy, subsidence and sediment supply. |
| The development of the coastal province is controlled by eustasy and tectonics, whereas climate-related processes and tectonics control that of the interior plateau. |
| Such variables, on a shallow marine carbonate platform developed upon a passive margin, are essentially represented by eustasy, climate, subsidence and sedimentation rate. |
| Subtidal, carbonate and carbonate-clastic symmetric cycles are interpreted to form when the long-term, tectonically driven eustasy prevails over glacioeustasy. |
| Eustasy is defined as a global sea level change when referenced to a fixed datum, for instance the center of the earth. |
