Abstract

Abstract

The Zhongjian Canyon is segmented, but the key geomorphic features of the segmentation, the sedimentary filling of each segment and its controlling factors lack detailed description and systematic demonstration. The integrated analysis of high-resolution 2D/3D seismic data and bathymetric data were used to study the geomorphology and sedimentary features of the Zhongjian Canyon, and the main controlling factors of the sedimentation process in both of the north and south segmentations of the Zhongjian Canyon are summarized. The Zhongjian Canyon extends in NW direction between the Guangle and Xisha uplifts, a knick point as the high point near the Huaguang reef separates the Zhongjian Canyon into southern and northern segmentations. The sedimentary system in the northern segmentation of the Zhongjian Canyon consists of gravity flow deposits (channels, sheets and slumps) and bottom current deposits (drifters, moats and troughs), and the northern segmentation is dominated by gravity channels and submarine fans. Sedimentary system of the northern segmentation is controlled by the interaction between bottom currents and gravity flows, of which the bottom currents came out in Middle Miocene, reworking the gravity channels, leading to migration of the axes or asymmetry wings; gravity flows became weakened while bottom currents strengthened after Pliocene, and sediment waves and drift bodies are widely developed. The channel in the southern segmentation of the canyon shows a depositional cycle of erosion-deposition-abandonment, and no bottom flow deposition was observed. The relative sea level changes, leading to the change of carbonate productivity, affect the provenance supply, so the highstand shedding of carbonate platform promotes the development of channel at high sea level.
