Which of the following is FALSE about regressions?

a. They are not typically well preserved in the sedimentary record.
b. They can occur when the climate warms and continental ice sheets melt.
c. Coastal environments will migrate seaward.
d. They occur when the land is uplifted by tectonic processes.

Option (B)

Explanation:

Regression here refers to the marine regression, which can be simply defined as a distinct geological process that takes place when some parts of submerged ocean-floor are revealed above the elevation of the mean sea.

This results in the shifting of the coastal region towards the sea and it often occurs due to the tectonic movements, isostatic adjustment, and orogenic upliftment.

They are not caused due to the increasing climatic condition and melting of the ice sheets.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

a. They are not typically well preserved in the sedimentary record.
