Abstract

Abstract

A certain scale of linear submarine sands which are referred to as tidal sand ridges occurs off the Minjiang Estuary and the Jiulongjiang Estuary in Fujian. Based on the survey data by multi-beam acoustic sounding,sub-bottom profile as well as sediment grain sizes analysis,we studied the features of the tidal sand ridges. The results show that the sand ridges off the Minjiang Estuary are oriented NE-SW,and some of them are connected. The sand ridges off the Jiulongjiang Estuary are oriented ENE-WSW,and some appear to diverge on the end. According to the analysis of marine hydrodynamic environment affects,and the relation among the ridges scale,depth and relative distance to the estuary,the main body of the sand ridges is basically steady. They have been reformed by the recent hydrodynamics as evidenced by similar sand waves on both sides of flanks. The interaction by recent tidal current,wave and residual current leads to a relatively smooth surface on top and both flanks of the sand ridges. It's indicated that the tidal sands primarily originated from estuarine coarse sandy shoals on the paleo-channel system and were subsequently modified into the linear forms during the period of Holocene transgression when sea-level rise was decelerated.
