Question

question 2 (5 points) listen a population of sea life was very successful in its marine environment. suddenly, this sea life experienced a rapid decrease in population and ultimately, extinction. which of the following processes most likely led to this extinction? a) marine transgression b) tsunami c) marine regression d) marine unconformity

Explanation:

Marine regression is when the sea - level drops. This can destroy the habitats of sea life, leading to a rapid decrease in population and possible extinction. A tsunami is a short - term event and may not cause long - term extinction. Marine transgression is sea - level rise which usually expands habitats rather than destroys them. Marine unconformity is a geological time gap and not directly related to extinction in this context.

Answer:

C. Marine regression
