Chapter 470: Detian Waterfall
Detian Waterfall is located in Detian Village, Xiujiang Province, the upper reaches of the Guichun River at the border between China and neighboring countries, the waterfall is magnificent, magnificent, connected with the Banyue Waterfall of the neighboring country, it is the first in Asia and the fourth largest transnational waterfall in the world, the average annual water flow is about three times that of Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou, and it is a four-A-level tourist attraction in China.
The stratum where Detian Waterfall is located is mainly Middle Devonian dolomitic limestone, which is a typical karst waterfall. The upstream section of the Guichun River is a split-type river, with a wide and shallow riverbed, and many rivers and beaches. When approaching Dekuten Waterfall, the height difference between the riverbed downstream of the waterfall and the riverbed at the top of the waterfall is about 6 meters, and the river water seeks the shortest path to reach the downstream water surface, causing the water of the Guichun River to make a way through the dolomite buds in the upper riverbed of the waterfall, forming stone bud islands such as Puyu Island. These islands divide the river into multiple streams that flow from different parts to the edge of the waterfall cliffs, resulting in multiple bundles of waterfall waterfalls.
The strata at the steep cliff of Detian Waterfall are dolomitic limestone of the Middle Devonian Donggangling Formation, and the bottom of the waterfall is the clastic rock strata of siltstone, argillaceous siltstone, shale and other colors of Lower Devonian gray-green, yellow-green, and yellow-brown. Siltstone, argillaceous siltstone, shale and other clastic rocks have poor erosion resistance and are easy to be eroded by water flow, while dolomite has a strong resistance to erosion by water flow, and the slope composed of thick layered dolomite is stable, although dolomite can be dissolved by water, its dissolution speed is slow, far less destructive than the erosion and erosion of water flow, and the solubility of dolomite itself is not very strong.
In addition, the corrosion resistance of dolomite is greater than that of sand shale, and the waterfall flow erodes the base of the cliff, hollowing out the bottom of the cliff and leading the cliff to collapse unsteadily, so the cliff retreats more in the part where the water flow is most concentrated, that is, the most erosive part, and the same is true of Detian Waterfall, such as the middle of the fourth-level waterfall water cliff forming a chair-shape, and the same is true for the first-level waterfall.
The site is located on the west flank of the Sichengling anticline, and the Guichun River is controlled by the NW-SE trending structure...... Faults trending south-west are also active in the vicinity, and under the influence of these fault activities, gently occurring thick-bedded dolomite joint fissures develop, and the water flow uses the joint fissures as a channel for its own migration, and expands these fissure surfaces, so that the rock strata form steep cliffs along the fissure faces. In addition, due to the relatively developed layer fissures in the rock formation, the upper rock mass is vulnerable to damage, so that multi-level cliffs and multi-level waterfalls are formed.
At Detian Waterfall, the dolomite is located in the upper part of the siltstone with poor erosion resistance and the upstream of the first water, and the rock formation is gentle, so that the water flow can be relatively smoothly distributed on the steep cliff surface of the falling water, and it is easy to form a waterfall with a relatively wide waterfall surface.
The rainfall collection area of the Gui Xuan River is about 2,200 square kilometers, of which 505 square kilometers are distributed in Vietnam, with an average annual flow of 55.2 cubic meters per second.
The drop of the riverbed of the Guichun River is 243 meters. The largest of these is the Detian Waterfall, which forms a four-level natural waterfall. Detian Waterfall is 100 meters wide, divided into three waterfalls, with a vertical height of more than 60 meters, originating from the Guichun River, and there is water all year round. Detian Waterfall is connected to Banyue Waterfall, and the two waterfalls are integrated in the rainy season, with a total width of 208 meters.
Detian Waterfall and Banyo Waterfall are connected as a whole, like a pair of close sisters, standing hand in hand.
Eyes through the ethereal mist, suddenly saw the Yiren, on the water side, the waist wrapped around the spring river like a jade belt, hanging hair falling to Chaohu Lake, leaning on the strange rocks of the towering peaks, backed by the ancient trees of the terraced fields of the mountain, smiling and looking forward to it, eyebrows and affection. This is really a poetic romantic and elegant place, every step is a scene, everywhere is affectionate.
People are in it, if they swim in the middle of the painting, there is no distraction, and there is no dust. I only want to find a place where the green grass is green and the blue stream is murmuring, build a thatched house, plant a few peach trees, plough a few acres of fields, and see when the flowers are blooming and the branches are burning, follow the elegance of the Tang Dynasty talents, hold the hand of the son, and form a hermit fate of wine cups and flower branches.
……
A man and a woman are here at this time looking at the majestic scene in front of them, the man is sitting quietly and the woman is bouncing, giving people a sense of harmony and harmony.
"It's been a long time since I've been here, and I don't know who I've heard you come here before." Wei Ying jumped up and down and said to the "meditated" Flying Ridge Star.
In fact, those who are careful will find that the sitting position of the Flying Prism is about two or three minutes away from the ground, and if there is not a layer of transparent plates that are so transparent that you can't see it, then the Flying Prism is too magical.
"I come a lot, who do you listen to?" Prism frowned.
"I forgot, and I can guess if you look familiar." Wei Ying said with a smile.
"Familiar? I've only been here once. Prism smiled bitterly and thought to himself.
Prism Star came here for resources. This waterfall is the closest to the Desperate Manor, and is most suitable for hydroelectric power.
Of course, with the high-efficiency equipment that Iffex has, the power here is not only for him, but for the entire organization.
This is not just to save any electricity bills, the main thing is that this is high-quality electricity, and there is no fear of power outages, which is absolutely guaranteed. Even if the Detian Waterfall collapses, there will never be a power outage, because it has already been saved like backup energy.
"There are so few people here now, it's really deserted when it's not the tourist season." Wei Ying looked around and sighed.
"Really? It's good if there are fewer people, it's quiet enough, and it's too complicated. Flying Prism didn't quite agree with Wei Ying's opinion.
The current Flying Prism Star is also a little flustered in his heart, this Wei Ying is now silent and does not mention his ability to appear out of thin air before, it is very strange... Could it be that Wei Ying wanted to wait until she thought the time was right to talk to him again?
"I still like to be lively." Wei Ying looked at the waterfall in front of her, which "flowed straight down to 3,000 feet", as if she was sighing.
"Do you like to go to a crowded earth?" Flying Star frowned, what is the situation, the little cousin he knows well, shouldn't have this kind of bad habits, right? He didn't want her to have this bad fetish.
"No, where do you want to go, I just like to watch other people crowd." Wei Ying smiled and looked at Flying Prism and said.
"Heh... It's not as bad as I thought, but it's still a bad habit that I'll have to change in the future. Fei Lingxing also looked at Wei Ying at this moment, he wanted to know what the other party was thinking when he chatted with Wei Ying like this.
"Huh? The information terminal is lit up? What's going on here? Seeing that his information terminal was lit up, Flying Prism couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, which means that someone is looking for him, a good thing or a bad thing?
It doesn't matter what he is, Wei Ying can't see it, so I'll find an excuse to leave a distance to answer it later... Flying Star thought to himself.
I don't know if it's because the Flying Prism Star Chart is too bland or what, Wei Ying's eyes lit up slightly at that moment just now, and she glanced at the wrist of the Flying Prism Star, where she was wearing the information terminal of the Flying Prism Star.
