Abstract

Abstract

Using the multi-channel and multibeam bathymetry data collected in the eastern Taiwan sea area in recent years, the sedimentary and filling evolution characteristics of the Huatung Basin since the late Miocene in the eastern Taiwan sea area have been described and analyzed. Through the description of the regional topographic features of the Huatung Basin, the establishment of the sequence stratigraphic framework and the interpretation of seismic profiles, six types of seismic facies are identified in the Huatung Basin since the late Miocene, and their corresponding sedimentary facies types are analyzed, including turbidite fan, turbidite channels, mass transport deposits, sediment wave, slump deformation associated with canyon and deep-water fan. According to the plane distribution of seismic facies and vertical stacked patterns between sedimentary facies, the three phases of sedimentary evolution since the late Miocene in the Huatung Basin were rebuilt, which were mass transport deposits in the late Miocene, followed by sediments failures, erosion and sedimentation of submarine canyons and finally, a large number of sediments were unload and developed sediment wave, turbidite fan and deep water fan.
