dc.description.abstract | The coastline of Van Phong bay is alternation between rocky coast, rocky headlands and sandy beaches. Four main types of terrain can be distinguished such as: bedrock, accumulation, abrasion - erosion, and ancient accumulation coasts. In addition, the coastline of Van Phong bay is gathered a lot of marine accumulative terrace. Bottom topography of Van Phong bay could be divided into two parts: Ben Goi bay (inside part) is characterized by the shallow depth (less than 20m) with the main axis is laid in Northeast-Southwestern direction. Bottom topography is relatively simple with gentle slope. Van Phong bay (outer part) is characterized by deeper depth (from 20 to 30m) with the main axis is laid in Northwest-Southeastern direction. The bottom topography is relatively flat. Besides, the embayment of Co Co – Cua Be area, with average depth of 20 - 23m, which is connected to the open sea through Cua Be channel. Cua Be channel is characterized by average depth of more than 30m and width of about 1.2km, which is an ideal natural area for marine transportation and harbor activities. Depending on the source of supplied materials and hydro-litho-dynamic processes the surface layer of bottom sediment in Van Phong bay is dominated by medium sand, silt and clay. In there, the silt and clay cover the largest area. | en_US |
