The research of the geophysical survey in the east of the southern Yellow Sea (SYS) (122°~125。E) in 1999 reveals that the SYS has a structure of three-uplifts and two-basins. The struc-ture can be well concordant with the gravity and magnetic anomalies.In the basins,most of the gravi-ty and magnetic anomalies are low and gentle.As well in the uplifts,the gravity anomalies are highpositive ones,but the magnetic anomalies are plus and minus variant ones.Seismic data show that themid-uplift is a Cenozoic one.The Paleozoic is under the Q+N strata,the thickness of which is lessthan lkm,with no Palaeogene.The Wunansha uplift area and the Sunan uplift area have good conti-nuity,which indicates that they belong to the same geological unit.The basin in the northem part ofSYS,which developed in the late Cretaceous period,is a Cenozoic one mainly made up of Cenozoicsediment.On the contrary,the basin in the southem part is the seaward extension of Subei basin andis a medial Cenozoic sediment basin mainly made up of Cenozoic sediment.Because of the striking left-lateral sense translation of Tanlu fault zone,the east plate of fault zone moved northward on a largescale,which generated a massive north-south pull-apart stress field to make the earth crust pulledapart,revolved and tilted,and the pulling-apart basin came into being in the upper part of thecrust.
