QUATERNARY SEA LEVEL CHANGES IN CHINA

Many transgressions on the plains along the Eastern China Sea had occurred in the Quaternary. They are named Beijing, Bohai, Haixing, Huanghua, Qingxian, Baiyangdian, Haizhou Bay. Cangxi, Xianxian and Candong transgressions. Their beds of marine facies have been buried in the Hebei Province, or on the shelf of China. The greatest transgressions occurred in the Early Pleistocene, while the smallest in the Middle Pleistocene, and the transgressions in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene were larger than that in the Middle Pleistocene. In accordance with the ¹⁴C dating and the paleomagnetic stratigraphy, they may be compared with the transgressions in the Late pleistocene with the δ¹⁸O stages of the core V28-232 at Equatorial Pacific.
