WHAT DOES RETROGRADATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Retrogradation

Retrogradation is the term for the landward change in position of the front of a river delta with time. This occurs when the mass balance of sediment into the delta is such that the volume of incoming sediment is less than the volume of the delta that is lost through subsidence, sea-level rise, and/or erosion. As a result, retrogradation is most common: ▪ during periods of sea-level rise which results in marine transgression. This can occur during major periods of global warming and the melting of continental ice sheets. ▪ with extremely low sediment input.

Definition of retrogradation in the English dictionary

The definition of retrogradation in the dictionary is a reaction that takes place when the amylose and amylopectin chains in gelatinized starch are realigned, converting the liquid into a gel. Other definition of retrogradation is the apparent clockwise motion of a planet due to the rotational period exceeding the period of revolution around the sun.
