对我国基岩海湾内的潮流沉积和地貌进行了系统研究。根据潮滩、潮流水道、潮流沙脊等地貌单元的组合特征,概括出3种潮流地貌模式:潮滩型、滩-槽型和滩槽-脊型。通过各模式海湾环境特征的对比分析,设定紊动射流系数Rbjet做为判别潮流水道形成发育程度的水动力参数,发现潮流水道较为发育的滩-槽型和滩-槽-脊型海湾往往开敞度较小,纵深较长,而平均潮差较大,Rbjet大于45。潮流沙脊是区分滩-槽型和滩-槽脊型潮流地貌模式的标志地貌,粗颗粒泥沙来源是其发育的必备条件:残留沉积、海岸侵蚀来沙丰富的海湾内潮流沙脊发育;河流来沙则可以改造形成小规模现代潮流脊;而靠近大河河口,细颗粒来源丰富的海湾则不利于潮流沙脊发育,湾内形成滩-槽型潮流沉积。  相似文献

潮流场对渤、黄、东海陆架底质分布的控制作用   总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10  
运用二维潮流数学模型,模拟了渤、黄、东海陆架的M2潮汐、潮流。结果表明,渤、黄、东海陆架的潮流有强弱之分以及往复流和旋转汉之别。在此基础上,计算了8种粒径沙的湖平均悬移输沙率、潮平均推移输沙以及相应的输沙率散度。根据输沙率散度的正负,划分了海底冲刷区与淤积区。根据不同粒径泥沙输沙率散度的相对大小,确定出海底的主要底质类型为砂质沉积、粉砂质泥沉积和以粉砂为主的混合沉积。计算结果表明,海底3种主要底负类型的分布格局与海底的冲淤格局以及与输沙率矢量的发散和聚合状况基本一致。在渤、黄、东海陆架,沙脊主要在强往复流区形成,沙席主要在强或较强的旋转流区形成,泥质沉积主要在弱潮流区形成。砂质沉积、泥质沉积以及混合沉积这3种主要底质类型并非孤立存在,而是受渤、黄、东海陆架潮流场控制而形成的一个完整的潮流沉积体系。渤、黄、东海陆架的砂质沉积与泥质沉积并非残留沉积,而是潮流沉积。在没有冷涡的情况下,黄、东海陆架的典型泥质沉积在弱潮流环境中同样可以形成,因此,认为冷涡并非黄、东海陆架典型泥质沉积形成的必要条件。  相似文献

中国沿海很多陆架受潮流水动力的控制,发育了沙脊、沙席和沙波(沙丘)等潮流沉积地貌。闽江河口外首次发现有潮流沙脊群,沙脊群由数条大小不一呈SW—NE向的线状沙脊体组成,局部沙脊连片成为浅滩,相邻沙脊间为侵蚀沟槽,形成脊槽相间排列的地貌形态,沙脊东南翼较西北翼陡,表明沙脊有向东南方向迁移的趋势。通过对沙脊群和闽江口水下三角洲地形地貌、沉积物以及潮流场环境特征的综合分析,认为闽江口外潮流沙脊群是以古闽江口三角洲物质为基础,在全新世海侵过程中,沙脊群区处于近岸河口湾环境下发育,并在现代水动力的作用下形成与潮流方向相吻合的地貌体。  相似文献

渤海东部的辽东浅滩是由一系列大致平行的线性沙脊和沙脊间沟槽共同组成的现代潮流地貌。根据辽东浅滩海域表层沉积物、脊-槽海流与悬浮泥沙同步观测和水深地形测量等资料,研究了沙脊和沟槽表层沉积物分布、海流及悬浮泥沙分布特征,分析了沉积物输运趋势,探讨了沙脊-沟槽地貌分布对潮流的响应。结果表明:辽东浅滩沙脊脊部表层沉积物为砂,沟槽表层沉积物为砂质粉砂和粉砂质砂,具有脊部粗、沟槽细的分布特征。受脊槽地形的控制,沙脊区潮流流速由表层至底层逐渐减小,沙脊脊部表层流速小于沟槽表层流速,而近底层则相反,沙脊脊部底层流速大于沟槽底层流速,其变化的临界深度约0.7 H(H为水深值)。沙脊区沉积物运移方向为NNE向,在一个潮周期内,沙脊脊部表层沉积物约有8.5~10.5h可以被起动,而沟槽内沉积物只在高低潮流速较大的1h期间可以被起动。在长期的往复潮流作用下,沙脊脊部遭受侵蚀,沟槽淤积,沙脊逐渐退化,脊-槽高差减少,脊-槽地形趋于夷平,但沙脊退化的过程是缓慢的,目前的脊-槽地貌格局仍具有一定的稳定性。  相似文献

Erosional shelf ridges in the mid-eastern Yellow Sea   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
In the mid-eastern Yellow Sea, closely spaced high-resolution seismic profiles and a 44-m-long sediment core (YSDP-104) were analyzed to reveal the internal structures and stratigraphy of the shelf ridges currently shaped by tidal currents. Three depositional sequences (sequences I, II and III in descending order) can be recognized. Sequence III, the substratum of the ridges, consists of coarse-grained sediments in the lower part (non-marine deposits) and tide-influenced muddy sediments in the upper part (probable transgressive to highstand systems tract). Sequence II represents internal ridge sediments, similar in character to sequence III, but is demarcated by an undulatory ridge topography. According to radiocarbon dating of marine muds, these sequences range in age from 47,000 to 28,000 years B.P., representing two cycles of short-term sea-level fluctuations during oxygen isotope stage 3. Sequence I consists mostly of late-Holocene transgressive sand veneer on the ridge surface. It also includes minor amounts of early-Holocene muddy sediments occasionally underlying the sand. Most of the ridges are presently undergoing erosion by tidal currents, forming widespread sand dunes on the entire surface.  相似文献

海底沙体是海洋资源开发利用、环境保护、灾害防治和军事行动等必须密切关注的底质类型。台湾海峡沙体面积分布广泛,主要有台湾浅滩、台中浅滩及海峡内受中小型山溪性河流影响的沙体。近年来,台湾浅滩沙体空间分布、大型沙波与小型沙波形态特征及剖面结构研究等领域取得了许多新进展;台中浅滩不同区域的沙体演化对应了地貌发育的不同阶段;而海峡西侧陆架上残留的中小河流沙体地貌也获得了一些新发现。本文归纳了台湾海峡窄陆架上不同沙体的平面分布特征、剖面结构及成因。今后工作的重点应聚焦于进一步获取不同区域高分辨率的地层、地貌证据,并进行对比研究。这些工作能深化对末次盛冰期以来台湾海峡不同地区沙体成因、关联及演化的认识,并有助于了解人类海洋活动与海底沙体演化的响应关系,丰富海底沙体发育和演化理论。  相似文献

东海和凯尔特海潮流沙脊的对比研究   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
东海潮流沙脊与凯尔特海沙脊均为开阔陆架上的大型深水沙脊,它们都形成在冰后期海面上升时期。目前仍然经受现代潮流和风暴浪的作用,具有一定的活动性,处于活动沙脊和衰亡沙脊之间的发育过程,属于准活动沙脊。与东海比较,凯尔特海的动力作用更强。东海沙脊横剖面大多呈向西南方向倾斜的前积层理,偶见波浪侵蚀面,反映以潮流作用为主形成的沙脊内部结构的特点;凯尔特海沙脊剖面呈现复杂的交错层理,内部有较多的波浪侵蚀面,这是潮流和波浪共同作用形成的沙脊内部结构的特点。  相似文献

A set of multi-channel seismic profiles (∼15,000 km) is used to study the depositional evolution of the Cosmonaut Sea margin of East Antarctica. We recognize a regional sediment wedge, below the upper parts of the continental rise, herein termed the Cosmonaut Sea Wedge. The wedge is situated stratigraphically below the inferred glaciomarine section and extends for at least 1,200 km along the continental margin with a width that ranges from 80 to about 250 km. The morphology of the wedge and its associated depositional features indicate a complex depositional history, where the deep marine depositional sites were influenced by both downslope and alongslope processes. This interaction resulted in the formation of several proximal depocentres, which at their distal northern end are flanked by elongated mounded drifts and contourite sheets. The internal stratification of the mounded drift deposits indicates that westward flowing bottom currents reworked the marginal deposits. The action of these currents together with sea-level changes is considered to have controlled the growth of the wedge. We interpret the Cosmonaut Sea Wedge as a composite feature comprising several bottom current reworked fan systems. The wide spectrum of depositional geometries in the stratigraphic column reflects dramatic variations in sediment supply from the continental margin as well as varying interaction between downslope and alongslope processes.  相似文献

The formation of incised valleys on continental shelves is generally attributed to fluvial erosion under low sea level conditions. However, there are exceptions. A multibeam sonar survey at the northern end of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, adjacent to the southern edge of the Gulf of Papua, mapped a shelf valley system up to 220 m deep that extends for more than 90 km across the continental shelf. This is the deepest shelf valley yet found in the Great Barrier Reef and is well below the maximum depth of fluvial incision that could have occurred under a − 120 m, eustatic sea level low-stand, as what occurred on this margin during the last ice age. These valleys appear to have formed by a combination of reef growth and tidal current scour, probably in relation to a sea level at around 30–50 m below its present position.

Tidally incised depressions in the valley floor exhibit closed bathymetric contours at both ends. Valley floor sediments are mainly calcareous muddy, gravelly sand on the middle shelf, giving way to well-sorted, gravely sand containing a large relict fraction on the outer shelf. The valley extends between broad platform reefs and framework coral growth, which accumulated through the late Quaternary, coincides with tidal current scour to produce steep-sided (locally vertical) valley walls. The deepest segments of the valley were probably the sites of lakes during the last ice age, when Torres Strait formed an emergent land-bridge between Australia and Papua New Guinea. Numerical modeling predicts that the strongest tidal currents occur over the deepest, outer-shelf segment of the valley when sea level is about 40–50 m below its present position. These results are consistent with a Pleistocene age and relict origin of the valley.

Based on these observations, we propose a new conceptual model for the formation of tidally incised shelf valleys. Tidal erosion on meso- to macro-tidal, rimmed carbonate shelves is enhanced during sea level rise and fall when a tidal, hydraulic pressure gradient is established between the shelf-lagoon and the adjacent ocean basin. Tidal flows attain a maximum, and channel incision is greatest, when a large hydraulic pressure gradient coincides with small channel cross sections. Our tidal-incision model may explain the observation of other workers, that sediment is exported from the Great Barrier Reef shelf to the adjacent ocean basins during intermediate (rather than last glacial maximum) low-stand, sea level positions. The model may apply to other rimmed shelves, both modern and ancient.  相似文献
