A transgression map is a geological concept used to describe the change in the position of the shoreline or the extent of marine deposits over time, typically in response to rising sea levels or subsiding land. It often depicts how sedimentary environments transition from terrestrial to marine settings, illustrating where different types of sediments (such as river, delta, and marine sediments) are deposited as the sea encroaches upon the land.
