Abstract

is the earliest country to study landforms in the world.China Danxia,as a geomorphic term,has been recognized by the world with the successful declaration of China Danxia world natural heritage.This paper analyzes and discusses the formation conditions and process of landforms in Baishishan of Guiping,Guangxi on the basis of studying of its spatial distribution and landscape features.The study comes to the following conclusion:(1)Danxia geomorphology is typical and centralized,with its types complete and landscapes unique,having representative landforms characteristics of flat tops,steep bodies,slow foothills;(2)Danxia landforms is sedimentary red clastic rock deposited in intermountain basin in Neogene,which was formed through the inner and outer dynamic action of tectonic movement,such as basin uplift,erosion,dissolution,water cut and gravitational collapse;(3)Danxia geomorphology with the characteristics of new era of strata sedimentation and magnificent shape is rare among all the landforms in the world,which has high scientific value.
