Morphometric Analyses of Danxia Landforms in Relation to Bedrock Geology: A Case of Mt. Danxia, Guangdong Province, China

The “Danxia landform” is an erosional landform type originally defined in China. It is characterized by redcolored sandstones and steep cliffs, and developed via long-term erosion. Detailed quantitative geomorphometric studies of the characteristics of Danxia landforms in China have not yet been conducted. Using GIS, we conducted DEM-based geomorphometric analyses of 42 watersheds on Mt. Danxia...

Bedrock Geology of the Ranges Bounding the Wells Earthquake of February 21 , 2008

The Wells 6.0 magnitude earthquake of February 21, 2008, occurred on a previously unrecognized northeast-striking southeast-dipping fault situated beneath Town Creek Flat, a few miles north of Wells, Nevada. Focal depth of the earthquake was 5 miles (8 km). Bedrock geology in the surrounding ranges did not indicate the existence of the fault prior to the earthquake, and no surface rupture has b...
