Abstract

Ling Ding Yang is one of the estuarine regions of the Zhujiang.Having originally been a portion of the embayment off the Zhujiang mouth during the period of post-glacial high sea level,it acquired the configuration of an estuary in the eighteenth century as a consequence of the development of the Zhujiang Delta plain in the northwest.The bottom relief of Ling Ding Yang can be divided into the following five geomorphic units:the west bank,central bank and and east bank the intervening west and east troughs.
