Abstract

The Danxia landform of Qiyun Mountain is mainly developed on red sandstone and conglomerate of middle Cretaceous series (K2x1). The landform development in this area is mainly controlled by three faulted zones, that is, Jingdezhen-Qimen faulted zone, Jiangwan-Jiekou faulted zone and Kaihua-Chun'an faulted zone. During the Cretaceous period, this area firstly experienced massif subsidence to a continental fault basin, and received thick Cretaceous red beds to accumulation. Then, during neotectonism, this area experienced an uplift process, the thick Cretaceous sediments became a mountain body with an altitude of 500-600 m. After having undergone the processes of vertical joints development, weathering, denudation and transportation, as well as influenced by the lithological component and structure between the sandstone and the conglomerate, grand Danxia landscape has formed in this area such as peak forest, steep cliff, cave, mesa, castellated peak and natural bridge. The three-grade knick points of Qiyun Mountain illustrates that the area has experienced three major uplift processes during the neotectonism.

Key words： Qiyun Mountain; Danxia landform; landform genesis
