The estuarine terrain of Huong river was the result of interaction amongst neo and modern tectonic activities with exogenic dynamic factors as marine marine - fluvial and fluvial. The estuary of Huong river is placed on the northwest - southeast neo - modern tectonic Quang Dien - Phu Vang depressed plate which has 3 local depressed blocks where then were filled by marine marine - fluvial and fluvial sediment. The marine sediment was mostly distributed on the northwestern and southeastern blocks while the central block was mostly filled by marine - fluvial sediment. The terrain of coastal and estuarine area of Huong river had 18 types they have changed dramatically within spatial and sequential dimension for those periods Pliocene - early Pleistocene middle - late Pleistocene early - middle Holocene and late - modern Holocene. During Pliocene - early Pleistocene and middle-late Pleistocene weak uplifting movement to the north of the area had created the denudation surfaces erosion and abrasion terraces with heights over 20 m whereas the depressed area to the east had been filled by several hundred meters of fluvial and fluvial - marine sediment. In the early - middle Holocene depressing movement and retrogradation caused the marine and fluvial - marine sediment accumulated rapidly up to tens of meters. In the last .
