A Study on Types, Features and Genesis of Danxia Landform in Longhushan World Geopark

摘要

The Danxia landform in the Jiangxi Longhushan World Geopark is developed in the Mesozoic red beds in Xinjiang basin that is a typical example of our country's Danxia landforms in its early aged phase with the feature of isolated peak, stone peak forest, monadnock. The cutting of fractures, variance of rock character of the red beds, the corrosion of flows and the sliding of the gravity force are the main reason that cause the variance of the Danxia landforms. In the different place of the basin with exposed of variance red beds and the feature of the structure, there have developed variance Danxia landforms. In this paper the types and features of the Danxia landforms in the Longhushan World Geopark are represented and the geneses are studied emphatically.
