Abstract

Abstract

The Zhongjiannan Canyons were first discovered in the northwest of the South China Sea. At present, relevant research on its geological information has not been carried out.Based on the comprehensive use of bathymetric topographic data and two-dimensional multi-channel seismic data, in this paper it mainly analyzes the topographic and geomorphic characteristics, plane distribution and segmentation characteristics of the Zhongjiannan Canyons, finely describes the sedimentary evolution and filling structure characteristics of the Zhongjiannan Canyons, and then further discusses the controlling factors of the canyons formation. The Zhongjiannan submarine canyons is distributed between Zhongjian terrace and Zhongjianbei platform. It is composed of a main axis canyon in the west and several small branch canyons in the east. The overall trend is SE-S-SE. According to the trend turning point of the main canyon, the Zhongjiannan canyons are divided into three sections: north section, middle section and south section. The north section is dominated by erosion, the middle and south sections are mainly affected by erosion and sedimentation, and the area outside the canyon mouth in the southeast is mainly affected by sedimentation. Canyon sedimentary systems were widely distributed in the study area from Late Miocene to Quaternary, including semi-deep marine facies, delta facies, canyon/channel filling facies, slump facies, mass transported deposits and turbidite fan facies. It is revealed that the development and evolution of the submarine canyons are mainly controlled by sea level change, sediment source supply, gravity flow and bottom current. The analysis of the topography and sedimentary evolution characteristics of the canyons will have important scientific significance for the study of marine disaster geology, deep-water sedimentary system and oil and gas resources exploration in the South China Sea.
