A marine regression is defined as a geological process where sea level rises, causing land to be submerged.

What is the fundamental definition of a marine regression?

How does a marine regression primarily differ from a marine transgression?

Marine regressions are considered a normal variation in the rates of plate tectonic activity.

A slowdown in sea-floor spreading is hypothesized to cause marine transgressions due to mid-ocean ridges occupying more space.

Major marine regressions are often associated with global volcanism episodes like the Siberian Traps and the Deccan Traps.

The formation of the supercontinent Pangaea is a universally accepted explanation for all major marine regressions throughout Earth's history.

The formation of Pangaea could have contributed to the Permian regression by slightly enlarging the ocean basins.

The hypothesis linking a slowdown in sea-floor spreading to marine regression suggests mid-ocean ridges would occupy more space, causing sea level to drop.

The Permian regression might have been related to the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea.

Which geological phenomenon is hypothesized to be linked to a generalized drop in sea level due to mid-ocean ridges occupying less space?

Major marine regressions are considered an aspect of normal variations in the rates of what large-scale Earth process?

What significant geological events are associated with major marine regressions and variations in plate tectonic activity?

What specific hypothesis links the Permian regression to the formation of a supercontinent?

According to one hypothesis, how does a slowdown in sea-floor spreading lead to marine regression?

During the Pleistocene ice ages, there was a clear correlation between marine regressions and episodes of glaciation.

The global sea level at the height of the last ice age, approximately 18,000 years ago, was 120 to 130 meters *higher* than today.

The Messinian salinity crisis, which occurred around 6 million years ago, was associated with a cold spell, glaciation, and a marine regression.

All major marine regressions are directly caused by glaciation episodes.

The 8.2-kiloyear event refers to a period of rapid global warming that occurred approximately 8,200 years ago.

The cryosphere refers to the parts of Earth's surface where water is in liquid form, such as oceans and rivers.

The Messinian salinity crisis was a period of global warming that led to a marine transgression in the Mediterranean basin.

The balance between the global cryosphere and hydrosphere shifts during glaciation, leading to more water in the oceans.

The 8.2-kiloyear event refers to a period of rapid global cooling that occurred approximately 8,200 years ago.

During which geological epoch was a clear correlation observed between marine regressions and episodes of glaciation?

What is the mechanism by which glaciation causes marine regression?

At the height of the last ice age, approximately 18,000 years ago, how much lower was the global sea level compared to today?

The Messinian salinity crisis in the Mediterranean basin, around 6 million years ago, was linked to which set of events?

Which of the following major marine regressions is explicitly stated as *not* being linked to glaciation episodes?

The 8.2-kiloyear event refers to a period of rapid global cooling that occurred approximately how long ago?

What is the cryosphere, and how does its balance with the hydrosphere affect sea level during ice ages?

The Permian-Triassic extinction event, the largest in Earth's history, was associated with a global sea level drop of approximately 820 feet.

Marine regressions are generally viewed as primary causes of mass extinctions because they directly impact both terrestrial and aquatic species.

The Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event occurred approximately 250 million years ago.

Marine regressions are believed to have caused or contributed to several mass extinction events throughout Earth's history.

The Permian–Triassic extinction event occurred 66 million years ago.

What is a significant consequence of the large episodes of global volcanism linked to marine regressions?

Which two specific mass extinction events are mentioned as potentially influenced by sea level changes?

What was the approximate global sea level drop during the Permian-Triassic extinction event?

Why are marine regressions generally considered correlates rather than primary causes of mass extinctions?

What is the estimated age of the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event?

What is the estimated age of the Permian–Triassic extinction event?

What is a significant impact of a major marine regression on marine organisms?

Evidence of marine regressions and transgressions is primarily found in deep-sea sediment cores, not the fossil record.

The term 'onlap' describes the pattern of sedimentary deposition during a marine regression, where younger layers extend further seaward.

The term 'offlap' in sedimentary facies indicates that younger sedimentary layers are deposited progressively seaward of older layers.

A marine terrace is a submerged coastal landform created by a rise in sea level.

The source material includes cross-sectional diagrams illustrating the shift of sedimentary facies during both marine transgression and regression.

Where can evidence of both marine regressions and transgressions be found?

What do the cross-sectional diagrams in the source material visually illustrate regarding sedimentary facies?

In the context of sedimentary facies, what does 'offlap' specifically refer to?

What is the definition of a marine terrace, as mentioned in the 'See also' section?

What does 'onlap' signify in the context of sedimentary facies?
