The Coastal Zone Loess of the Liaodong Peninsula, Liaoning Province

The Coastal Zone Loess of the Liaodong Peninsula, Liaoning Province Abstract This Paper discusses the origin of the Coastal Zone Loess on the Liaodong Peninsula, Liaoning Province. The loess is composed mainly of proximal materials transported by low‐altitude air flow and less commonly of inland distal materials carried by high‐altitude air flow. The main provenance is the Liaodong Bay. When the sea level declined during glacial period, the bottoms of the Liaodong Bay and Bohai Sea emerged, where desertization occurred. As a result, submarine sediments were transported by strong northwesterly winds to the eastern coastal zone of the peninsula and deposited there. These materials mixed with the windblown dust carried by atmospheric circulation from the interior of the continent, forming the loess. Key words: Liaodong Peninsula, coastal zone, loess. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Acta Geologica Sinica (English Edition) Wiley

Abstract

Abstract This Paper discusses the origin of the Coastal Zone Loess on the Liaodong Peninsula, Liaoning Province. The loess is composed mainly of proximal materials transported by low‐altitude air flow and less commonly of inland distal materials carried by high‐altitude air flow. The main provenance is the Liaodong Bay. When the sea level declined during glacial period, the bottoms of the Liaodong Bay and Bohai Sea emerged, where desertization occurred. As a result, submarine sediments were transported by strong northwesterly winds to the eastern coastal zone of the peninsula and deposited there. These materials mixed with the windblown dust carried by atmospheric circulation from the interior of the continent, forming the loess. Key words: Liaodong Peninsula, coastal zone, loess.
