Description :
Biostratigraphical and sedimentological studies of deposits of terraces on Western Sakhalin Island have shown that they were all marine in origin. The upper complex of terraces formed during a period of slow tectonic uplift in this area to 120 m above modern sea level. The lower complex of terraces may have formed in response to sea level oscillations without any influence of tectonic uplift.
