Question

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.
