Radiocarbon Profiles of Rocky Islet, Xi-Sha Islands: Evidence of Recent Crustal Movements in the South China Sea
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 July 2016
Extract
The Xi-Sha Islands comprise 35 coral reefs, cays, and islets lying to the northwest of the South China Sea. Since Miocene time, > 1200m of bioherms developed on slowly subsiding granite-gneiss bed rock. These sediments provide evidence for sea-level changes and crustal movements in the South China Sea.
