文摘1 Introduction The Maritime Silk Road, once a historic network of trade routes that connected continents and facilitated centuries of cultural and economic exchange, has become a region of profound scientific importance. Stretching from East Asia to Europe and Africa, its marine environments are among the most complex and dynamic on Earth. This region encompasses diverse geological settings, including tectonically active zones, varied sedimentary basins, and extensive continental shelves. These features make it a unique natural laboratory for studying various geological and geophysical processes.
