Abstract

Three sea level relics were introduced based on the investigation of the Hainan Island coastal zone: the sea level relic of the Shitou Park, Tongguling of Wenchang City with 30 m height above present-day sea level, the sea level relic of Huangliu Town of Dongfang City with 25～35 m height above present-day sea level, and the sea level relic of Luhuitou of Sanya City with 2.5 m height above present-day sea level. The following several conclusions are got based on the synthetical research of other scientist's study results about the change of sea level. First, the sea level of the South China Sea and adjacent areas has had falling tendency since mid-Holocene, and the highest height is 3 m above present-day sea level with the emergence geolo gical age of 7 ka. Second, the height's otherness of paleo sea-level of the South China Sea and adjacent areas since mid-Holocene that has been displayed by sea level relics is the conjunct result of paleo sea-level continuance descend and otherness vertical movement of crust. Finally, the central ocean basin, and the deltas of Zhujiang River, Red River, Mekong River and Zhaopiye River were structural subsidence areas, but Taiwan Island, the Leizhou Peninsula, the Indochina Peninsula, the South Malaya Peninsula, Java Island and Sulawesi Island were structural uplifted areas in the South China Sea and adjacent areas during mid-Holocene, and the biggest amplitude of structural uplift was located in Taiwan Island.
- sea level relics,
- mid-Holocene,
