The back-arc East China Sea Basin lies on extended continental crust at the leading edge of the Eurasian plate. Geology over the East China Sea Shelf Basin have been studied bits and pieces by various researchers over the past 20 years. This work is intended to provide a full review of the tectonic evolution over the East China Sea Basin.

The Lishui sag located at Southwest of the East China Sea Shelf Basin. It had undergone the four stages of syn-rift processes in Late Cretaceous to Paleocene: initial rift stage, main rift stage, stable rift stage and decline stage. The tectonic evolution has control effect on the development of sequence stratigraphy and the sediments distribution. Three second-order sequences, five third-order sequences and twelve system tracts are distinguished. Different sedimentary facies recognized in the Lishui sag.

<p><span>As connected through relatively narrow and shallow straits, inflow and outflow volume transports of the northeast Asian marginal seas (NEAMS) are strongly forced to yield significant convergence or divergence and resulting rise or drop in spatially-averaged sea level. Here, we examined interannual variations of August NEAMS-mean sea level observed from satellite altimetry from 1993 to 2019. Typhoon activity was found to be a primary factor controlling the interannual variations of NEAMS-mean sea level in August. Relatively high August sea level over the NEAMS is derived in years when more typhoons pass through the East China Sea (Period H) due to typhoon-induced Ekman transports. The resultant NEAMS-mean sea level is a few cm higher than that during the years of less or no typhoon activity in the East China Sea (Period L). This study highlights the importance of typhoon (hurricane) activity on interannual variations of regional sea level in the mid-latitude and semi-enclosed marginal seas.</span></p>
