摘要
在有关世界大陆架地形和沉积的许多著作中,已对更新世冰期的低海平面作过研究。目前的残留海岸沉积和化石深度表明,冰川消溶前的海平面可能比现代低150米。海平面上升的大约深度和年代,是根据对残留的或准化石的海岸贝壳,和对从大陆架挖取或钻取的泥炭沉积进行放射性碳测年而确定的。
Low sea levels during Pleistocene glacial stages have been investigated in many studies of the topography and sediments of the world’s continental shelves.Melting of the glaciers was accompanied by a rise in sea level from perhaps 150m below the present level,a position that is indicated by the present depth of relict shore sediments and fossils.
