Island landforms

Quanfu island is named for its rich aquatic products. The coral reef area here is rich in biological species. Located in the northeast of the reef, the island is a small Oxbow shaped sandbank with flat terrain, high in the north and low in the south, with an average altitude of about 1 meter. The area of the island is small and the sand bank is not wide, so the fresh water content of the island is not much. The sand dike in the north is the highest, and the sand dike in the south is not obvious. The beach rocks on the island are not well developed, but they have been able to protect and fix the sandbanks. Depressions occur in the southern part of the island and can be submerged by the sea at high tide. The terrain of the island is not high, and the sand ridge is only about 1 meter out of the water. Therefore, it is often regarded as a new sandbank just coming out of the water.
