Answer:

Marine transgression

Step-by-step explanation:

Marine transgression causes the shoreline to move towards higher ground. Sedimentary layers can deposit as sea level moves inland, leaving behind thick sedimentary layers along the shoreline. These layers can be used to measure prehistoric sea levels.
