Abstract:

There are complicated and various hydrodynamic forces in deep water zone, which result in abundant types of interaction depositions, such as gravity flow, contour current, internal wave and so on. Types, characteristics and sedimentary models of interaction deposition between gravity flow and contour current were studied in the Pearl River Mouth Basin by seismic data. Gravity flow and contour current are both well active in the study area, where interaction deposition between gravity flow and contour current developed well, including canyon, unidirectional migrating channel, giant elongated drift, confined drift, slope sheeted drift and so on. NE-migrating channel, giant elongated drift and some slope sheeted drift formed in the upper-middle slope, where the gravity flow and northeastward moving intermediate water were active. By contrast, SWW-migrating channel, lobe, channel-levee, giant elongated drift, confined drift and slope sheeted drift developed for gravity flow and deep water controlling in the middle-lower slope. The unidirectional migrating channel is the result from interaction between gravity flow and contour current, whose migrating direction represents the flow direction of contour current. Drift, deflected lobe and asymmetric levee formed by contour current carry, rework and redeposit of gravity flow sediment.
