摘要

The features and the development law of rhyolite landforms are unique. Based on the survey and analysis data, this paper has analyzed the types, the distribution and the development of the rhyolite landforms in Yandang Mt. The results show that the landforms in this region can be divided into two types, six sub-types and sixteen type units. The peaks, cliffs and waterfalls are all distributed vertically at different heights, and the valleys and line-cliffs extend along the faults with strikes of NE, NW and EW horizontally. The development of the landforms in the region has experienced four stages in which there developed different kinds of landforms. The study in the paper can contribute to the building of this World Geopark and flourish the local tourism.
