Abstract

Abstract

In this paper, a new method of making a quantitative comparison between the tectonic movement rates along the coastal areas is given. It is independent of any specific curve of sea level change. Meanwhile, by using the ¹⁴C data from samples of the Holocene coral reefs in China, the tectonic movement rates in the various coral reef distribution areas are calculated.
