【Abstract】 Based on seismic records using SIG sparker from a joint Sino French study on marine geology of the East China Sea in 1996,the distribution area of submarine paleodeltas of the Yangtze River(and/or the Yellow River)during the early and middle time of the late Pleistocene is determined. (1)In the early time of the late Pleistocene,about 80～70 ka BP,the Yangtze River(and /or the Yellow River)submarine deltas widely spread in the northeast of the middle outer ECS shelf where the deltas lay at water depth of 40～90 m and had a thickness of about 10～35 m.In the middle time of the late Pleistocene,about 50～43 ka BP,the deltas settled in the middle of the outer ECS shelf and went down 70～ 120 m from the sea surface.They advanced all the time from northwest to southeast as the sea level dropped. (2)The fluvial affection was less during the early and late time of the last glaciation(the oxygen isotopic stage 4 and stage 2)than it was during the sub interglacial of the last glaciation,especially around 40 ka BP when many big paleochannels formed. (3)The alluvial plain U7 on the ECS shelf sloped gradually from southwest to northeast in the upper of the middle Pleistocene(oxygen isotopic stage 6).It is certain that high ground was affected a little by transgression.Meanwhile,it made that in late Pleistocene,deltas mainly appeared in the low ground in the northeastern part.更多还原
