Huangshan, many fiver terraces are developed at the junction between mountains and plains. The fiver terraces are most typical in the Jingxian Basin, Anhui Province, where the Qingyijiang River, one of the longest tributaries of the lower Yangtze River, developed three staircase terraces. The topmost terrace （i.e., the T3 terrace） tread is 38 - 39 m above fiver level, and the top of the gravels is generally covered by 3 - 10.9 m of red clay deposits. Systematic magnetostratigraphy and electron spin resonance dating are used to research the timing of the establishment of the Qingyijiang River. The main results show that the topmost terrace developed no later than 900 kyr ago and that the appearance of the Qingyijiang River occurred correspondingly at least before 900 kyr ago on the northern fringe of Mt. Huangshan. In view of the almost synchronous age,the establishment of the Qingyijiang River was seemingly a response to the Mid-Pleistocene Revolution when the 100 kyr cycle commenced, and the Kunlun-Huanghe movement during the early- middle Pleistocene transition. In addition, the establishment of the Qingyijiang River possibly reflected the birth of the modem Yangtze River to some degree. Therefore the timing of the formation of the Yangtze River is restricted to no later than 900 kyr ago based on the appearance of the Qingyijiang River .展开更多
青弋江是长江下游最大的一条支流,发源于安徽省黄山北麓。野外考察发现青弋江在泾县段共发育了三级河流阶地,其中最高阶地(T3)存在两个天然剖面,即CB-T3剖面和SJ-T3剖面。运用电子自旋共振(ESR)测年法,并结合相关文献资料,确定青弋江泾...青弋江是长江下游最大的一条支流,发源于安徽省黄山北麓。野外考察发现青弋江在泾县段共发育了三级河流阶地,其中最高阶地(T3)存在两个天然剖面,即CB-T3剖面和SJ-T3剖面。运用电子自旋共振(ESR)测年法,并结合相关文献资料,确定青弋江泾县段最高阶地的形成年代并探讨其构造气候意义。研究结果表明:青弋江泾县段最高阶地的年代约900 ka B.P.,是早中更新世过渡时期河流作用的产物;青弋江泾县段900 ka B.P.阶地是可能是构造抬升和东亚夏季风变化共同作用下的产物,其中构造抬升为阶地的形成提供了河流下切的动力条件,而东亚夏季风的强度变化为阶地的形成提供了气候条件。研究结果有助于为长江中下游地区的河流地貌研究提供基础数据和参考资料。展开更多
