Based on the sediment origin, the study area is divied into four districts, that is, fine-grained district around the Old Yellow River in the coast of northern Jiangsu, sandy relict district in the middle and eastern parts of the study area, quasi-relict gravel district in the northwestern part, and the distant part of Shandong subaqueous clinoform in the northeastern part. The clay minerals of the surficial sediments belong to the assemblage of illite-smectitechlorite-kaolinite, same as the sediments derived from the Yellow River. The silty sand and sand in the middle and eastern parts are all relict deposits in occurrence.
