The full survey covering over the Zengmu Shoal area gives us new knowledge about the area. It is a flat underwater platform consisting of coral reefs, its fathom line is like a trap in near SN direction and its shape is like an isosceles triangle with the acute angle pointing to the north. The east and west sides of the shoal are steep while its south side is more gentle. As viewed from geological evolution, the Zengmu Shoal is a typical biologic coral landform caused by tectonic uplift.展开更多
