The Uplift Rate over the Past 124 ka along the North-east Coast of Shandong Peninsula

Abstract:

After thinking of the relationship between the coast landscape evolution and both the tectonic movement and global sea-level change, the author calculated the uplift rate along the north-east coast of Shandong Peninsula on the basis of the correlation of the eustatic sea-level and relative sea-level responded by the local landscape, coast line and corresponding sediments. The results indicate that the uplift rates of the two sides of the Muping-Ji mo fault zone of the past 124 ka. are different. The uplift rate of the west side is about 0.50 mm/a, while the that of the east side is only 0.15 mm/a.

Key words:

the north-east coast of Shandong Peninsula; global sea-level change; neotectonic uplift
