4. Geographical environment
Topography
Longhu Mountain is one of the regions with the best development
degree of Danxia landform in China, and belongs to the Xinjiang fault
basin in geological structure. The basin began to form in the late
Triassic. During the Late Jurassic period (1.5-140 million years) to the
Early Cretaceous (1.4-0.9 billion years), there were active volcanic
eruptions in the basin and sedimentary mudstone rocks. It laid a
material foundation for the formation of volcanic landforms in this
area. By the late Cretaceous (0.9-607 million years), the basin
expanded and deposited a thick layer of purple-red river-lake clastic
rocks (conglomerate, sandstone) to provide material conditions for
the formation of Danxia landforms in this area. The later crustal
movement turned the area into land, and the external geological
processes such as flowing water scoured along the rock fissures,
erosion cutting, and gravity collapse, which gradually formed the
typical Danxia landform landscape in this area. The genetic types
include: water flow erosion erosion type, collapse residual type,
collapse accumulation type, dissolution weathering type, dissolution
weathering collapse type. In terms of morphology: Shizhai, Shiqiang,
Shiliang, Shiya, Shizhu, Shifeng, Fengcong, Fenglin, Yixiantian,
