节理,也称为裂隙,是岩体受力断裂后两侧岩块没有显著位移的小型断裂构造。节理是很常见的一种构造地质现象,就是我们在岩石露头上所见的裂缝,或称岩石的裂缝。
此处景观是由两组节理裂隙控制,一组近水平节理裂隙,是造型石景的主控构造;另一组近垂直的节理裂隙,为北东-北北东走向,与区域断裂走向一致,横切溪流,是形成瀑布群的主要构造。在两组节理裂隙的控制下,加之风化剥蚀、流水侵蚀等外力作用,形成恰如仙人堆砌的石墙。
Joint, also known as fracture, is a small fault structure with no significant displacement of rock bodies on both sides after the rock mass is fractured under force. Joint is a very common structural geological phenomenon. They are cracks or fissures we see in rock outcrops.
The landscape here is controlled by two groups of joints and fissures, one group of near-horizontal joints and fissures, which is the main structure of the shaped stone landscape. The other group of nearly vertical joints and fissures in NE - NNE direction, consistent with the strike of regional fault, transecting streams, is the main structure of forming waterfall groups. Under the control of the two groups of joints and fissures, coupled with exogenic forces such as weathering and water erosion, the stone wall is formed as it was built by immortal.
