<u>Answer:
</u>
The process of thick sediment layers to "accumulate" along the "boundaries of continental and oceanic plates" is called Subduction.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
- During a marine transgression, sea level raises high compared to land level resulting in floods. These are triggered during climate changes, ice-age, isostatic movements.
- Subduction occurs at the tectonic plates where one plate is moves under another forcing to sink into Earth’s mantle due to the gravitational force.
- The plates are continental and oceanic in the zone of lithosphere. The rate of subduction is usually seven to 8 centimetres per year.
- Marine regressions are opposite to transgressions where sea levels fall compared to land levels.
- Glaciation is the interval of time within an ice-age. The current glacier period is of Holocene.
In general places farther from the equator have colder winters and sometimes hotter summers with lower average year-round temperatures. but there are many other influences on climate besides latitude such as elevation rainfall and proximity to or distance from large bodies of water.
