ABSTRACT

The lower marine terrace 2 surface of Choi (1991; 1992; 1995a; 1995b; 1996; 1997; 2001) which has the relatively thick (1.2 m thick) marine deposits compared to those of the other eastern coastal regions of Korea has been formed in the Sajin coast of Yeongdeok, southeastern coast of Korea. The lower marine terrace 2 surface of the Sajin coast is considered to have been formed in the late warm period of the Last Interglacial (MIS 5a), judging from the comparison between the former shoreline altitude (11.8 m a.s.l.), the degree of weathering of marine gravels and soil color (bright reddish brown to orange) of this marine terrace and those of the lower marine terrace 2 surfaces in the adjacent Uljin coast and Pohang coast which have been formed in the late warm period of the Last Interglacial.
