Trnsgression and Regression Different types of Sedimentary rocks form in different dispositional environment. For example strata deposited along a river differ from strata deposited by ocean waves or in the deep sea. Geologists use clues such as character of sedimentary structures to figure out the propositional environment in which the sediments under study were deposited. Thick accumulations of sediment develop in sedimentary basins. Very briefly answer the following question Distinguish between transgression and regression?

Question-based on, "transgression and regression".

 

I have tried it but don't understand it, it's only the part with distinguishing them both.

Different types of Sedimentary rocks form in different dispositional environment. For example strata deposited along a river differ from strata deposited by ocean waves or in the deep sea. Geologists use clues such as character of sedimentary structures to figure out the propositional environment in which the sediments under study were deposited. Thick accumulations of sediment develop in sedimentary basins. Trnsgression and Regression Very briefly answer the following question Distinguish between transgression and regression?
