Research on the Genesis and Development of Danxia Landform in the South Sichuan

A groundbreaking study reveals that the distinctive Danxia Landform in South Sichuan, characterized by its widespread distribution and square-shaped hills, is shaped by a complex interplay of lithostratigraphy, regional tectonics, crustal uplift, and external forces. Unlike previous research, this study provides a systematic analysis of these contributing factors, offering new insights into the genesis of these unique geological formations. The findings not only advance our understanding of Danxia Landforms but also propose strategies for their sustainable development through educational tourism, leveraging their historical, cultural, natural, and scientific significance.
