Vũ Trường Sơn, Đỗ Tử Chung, Trịnh Nguyên Tính
Basic investigation on geology
was carried out at various scales: 1:50,000 (near shore); 1:100,000 (in 0-30 m
water depth) and 1:500,000 (in 30-100 m water depth) in the coastal zone of
- Influence of tectonic faults: 109-1100 Longitudinal Fault system; Minh Hải - Thuận Hải Fault system with active sign in Pleistocene; modern faults along the seashore. Faults may cause earthquakes with maximum magnitude of 7.5 Richter degree.
- Tsunami occurrence caused by fault activity, volcanic eruptions and landslide on the sea floor; erosiona ditch and mud flow occurring in coastal areas; seashore erosion caused by wave and submarine landslide.
It is necessary to research
and investigate the impact of these geological hazards to the nuclear power project
