The surface sediment can be classified into 4 facies (gravelly sand, sand, silty sand and sandy silt)
Morphology, surface sediments, sedimentation rates and sea-cliff erosion have been monitored, for one ... coastline, gravels, relict weathered basement-rock and 'Island Stack' exposed on the high-tide beach ... The beach sediments show low compositional maturity at the south and north headlands and gradually high
The outer continental shelf is mostly covered by coarse relict sediment deposited during lowstand sea-level ... the outer continental shelf is dominated by coarse-grained sediment. ... , while the inner shelf is covered with recent sediment during highstand sea-level.
The purpose of this study is to clarify the relict landform development of fluvial terrace and the soil ... have developed on the high terrace sediment indicate that the soil should be classified as paleo-red ... It is packed compactly with parent materials of high fluvial surface sediments, and usually has a A1-
