云台山世界地质公园 Yuntaishan Mountain Global Geopark
云台山世界地质公园位于太行山南麓,河南省焦作市北部,面积约556平方千米,是一处以裂谷构造、水动力作用和地质地貌景观为主,以自然生态和人文景观为辅的综合型地质公园。
公园由一系列具有特殊科学意义和美学价值,能够代表本地区地质历史和地质作用的地质遗迹组成。在裂谷作用大背景下形成的“云台地貌”,是两千三百万年年新构造运动的典型遗迹。在长期处于构造稳定状态的华北古陆核上,发育了一套相对完整且具代表性的地台型沉积,完整地保存了中元古代、古生代海洋环境,尤其是陆表海环境的沉积遗迹。
Yuntaishan Mountain Global Geopark is located in the north of Jiaozuo City, along the southern foothills of Taihangshan Mountains. With a total area of approximately 556 square kilometers, the geopark is characterized by its rifting tectonics, and spectacular landscapes formed by hydrodynamic process, in combination with its ecological and cultural scenery.
The geopark consists of a series of geological relics that have their unique scientific significance and aesthetic value as records of the local geological history. Formed against the general background of a rifting system, the Yuntai Landform represents the typical geological heritage of the neotectonic movement taking place some 23 million years ago. On the stable North China Continental Craton, a sequence of continental sedimentary rocks is developed as the record of epicontinental sedimentation from Mesoproterozoic and Paleozoic marine environment, especially epicontinental marine environment.
