虽然大堡礁是世界上最大的现代礁系,并且对古代礁系来说可能也是同意语,但它的沉积环境和内部物质是所知甚少的。尽管 Max-well 等总结出版了大量专著,但仍然存在几个很少受到重视的问题。实际上礁与礁之间沉积物的关系及陆架地层的分布范围和厚度是不清楚的。以前发表的说明这些关系的浅层地震方面的专著就是局部范围的。地震折射研究已经在几个礁体中划出了可能是全新世或更新世的不 Although the Great Barrier Reef is the largest modern reef in the world and may also be a confessor to the ancient reefs, its sedimentary environment and internal matter are poorly understood. Although Max-well et al. Conclude a large number of monographs, there are still a few issues that have received less attention. In fact, the relationship between reefs and sediments and the extent and thickness of shelf strata are unclear. Previously published monographs on shallow earthquakes that account for these relationships are local in scope. Seismic refraction studies have outlined in several reefs that may be Holocene or Pleistocene
