DISTRIBUTION OF SURFACE SEDIMENTS AND SEDIMENTARY ENVIRONMENT IN THE NORTH YELLOW SEA
北黄海表层沉积物粒度分布特征及其沉积环境分析

Distribution of 1140 surface sediment samples in the North Yellow Sea was studied for understanding the provenance and the hydrodynamic condition.The samples can be classified into five types in grain size:mud,silt,sandy silt,silty sand,and sand,plus gravel,occasionally.The controlling factor for sediments distribution is the tide in eastern part of the study area,and coastal current off Shandong Peninsula in the western part.The Yellow Sea Warm Current restricts the eastward transport of fine-grade matter ...
