Distribution of uplifted wave cut benches and ^<14>C age of silty sediments covering them in Ohda coast,Shimane,Japan
Description
Remarkable wave cut benches indicating the continuous uplift of the ground,are widely distributed along the Ohda coast,Shimane,Japan.Thin clayey sediments covering one of them with 2.5 m height above the sea level were dated as 400 yBP.using ^<14>C methods.This means that the coastal area was uplifted 2.5 m with topographic changes at least after the 400 years ago.
