Quaternary seismic facies of the South Yellow Sea shelf: depositional processes influenced by sea‐level change and tectonic controls

Abstract: The South Yellow Sea (SYS) is a semi-closed epicontinental sea, where voluminous material input and regional tectonic subsidence facilitate preservation of depositional strata, making it an ideal place for studying the regional responses to global sea-level changes during the Quaternary. Based on high-resolution single-channel seismic data, we conducted a detailed study of the SYS shelf in terms of its stratigraphic architecture and seismic facies. In combination with borehole data, we analysed the depositiona… Show more

“…50–60 Ma, causing the Yellow Sea Basin to maintain its continental environments up to the Pleistocene 43 , 44 . Fluvial deposits from several cores, including CSDP-1 on the Yellow Sea Basin until the late Pleistocene, also suggest that the SYS included continental/fluvial environments up to this period 19 , 44 47 . Moreover, the Zhe-Min uplift (ZMU), which extends from southern China to the western part of the Jeju Strait along the Jingshan–Shaoxing–Gwangju Fault, and was high terrain until the late Pleistocene, played the role of a partial barrier, preventing the intrusion of seawater from the East China Sea 44 , 46 .…”

“…Most terrestrial sediments transported by currents into the East Sea originate from the Yangtze River and the western and southern sea shelves of the KP and flow into the East Sea through the Jeju Strait (JS) and KS [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] . The continental shelf of the South Yellow Sea [SYS; less than about 100 m below the sea floor (mbsf)] is composed of paleochannels and river mouths, including those of the Yangtze River 19,20 . The southern sea shelf of the KP is composed of a narrow shelf less than 100 m deep connected to the Seomjin and Nakdong river mouths.…”

“…Na Baía de Macapá, a resposta sedimentar em superfície pode ser associada às formas de leito, enquanto que, em subsuperfície destacam-se a presença de sismofácies com características distintas em relação ao desenvolvimento das estruturas (Jaeger and Nittrouer, 1995;Li et al, 2016). Além disso, esta diversidade também está associada à alteração no padrão de sedimentação provocado pela: hidrodinâmica com a alteração dos valores de correntes e circulação estuarina; variação granulométrica; e espacialização das estruturas, as quais podem estar sujeitas a maiores intensidades de correntes como áreas próximas aos canais ou menores intensidades como margens e áreas adjacentes às ilhas ou bancos expostos em maré baixa (Fernandes et al, 2007;Strasser, 2002).…”
