<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.
<span>Steno’s final principle is the “principle of lateral continuity,” which says that sediment layers spread out until they reach an obstacle that keeps them from spreading further, the way soup spreads out in a bowl until it reaches the sides of the dish. “Wherever bared edges of strata are seen,” he wrote, “either a continuation of that same strata must be looked for or another solid substance must be found that kept the material of the strata from being dispersed.”

Explanation:
Answer:
Exp The Deccan Plateau is located in Southern India in-between two mountain ranges: the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats. ... The river valley areas of the plateau tend to be densely populated, as there is ample access to water and the climate is conducive to living

Answer:
Plate tectonics is the name for the process that forms Earth's features. Plates spread apart, bump together, slide under one another, or slide past each other. Forces on the surface also change the land. The movement of wind and water breaks rock down, and erosion wears Earth's surface away.
