| 摘要 | During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) (~20,000 years ago), the sea level was lower
than that during the present day by 120 m and the heads of most submarine canyons were close or connected to the coastline or shore, with enhanced terrestrial sediment input due to direct connections with river mouths. This was followed by a relative sea-level rise of 120 m and the migration of coastlines landward. As a result, the heads of some paleo-submarine canyons were no longer near river mouths or connected to the shore. Such canyons became inactive due to the lack of terrestrial
sediment input. Only 4% of the world’s submarine canyons reach the coastline and remain active today. Among 13 submarine canyons off the shore of Taiwan, we identified seven (n = 7, 54%) that remain connected to the shore and are active during the present-day highstand. The purpose of this study is to determine the key controls of canyon heads that remain connected to the shore with terrestrial
sediment input during the Holocene sea-level rise. As a result of high uplift rates, narrow coastal range, steep gradients, frequent earthquakes, and typhoon development in the Taiwan mountain belt, Taiwan has the highest-yield river and sediment supply. This has led to the transportation of large volumes of sediment to the surrounding deep seas. Narrow steep shelves and large sediment volumes associated with small mountain rivers are the main controls involved in the development of shore-connected canyons on the active Taiwan margin. Shore-connected canyons are present in greater
numbers in the major earthquake zone on the eastern Taiwan margin. Frequent earthquake events are another significant factor in the occurrence of shore-connected canyons in the Taiwan region. |
