TERMINOLOGIES
eustatic- glacier melt or basin change due to plate tectonics 
isostatic-amount of ice on the land, or to growth or erosion of mountains 
decompression or isostatic rebound.
Tectonic sea-level changes are local changes caused by tectonic processes. The subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate beneath British Columbia is creating tectonic uplift (about 1 mm/year) along the western edge of Vancouver Island, although much of this uplift is likely to be reversed when the next large subduction-zone earthquake strikes
