Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transgressions occur when sea level rises locally and marine sediments are deposited on top of terrestrial sediments. Regressions would be the opposite, where sea level falls and terrestrial sediments are deposited on top of marine sediments. Turbidity currents are underwater avalanches of sediment and do not relate to sea level changes. Cross bedding refers to the layering of sediments at an angle due to the action of wind or water currents, and is not directly related to sea level changes.
