    Abstract:

    Granite landscapes present unique scenery characteristic and evolution regularity. This paper systematically analyzes and summarizes the features, spatial distribution regularity and genetic evolution regularity of Neoproterozoic granite landscape in Mount Meiling area, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. The current granite landscapes of Mt. Meiling are mainly developed on the Neoproterozoic granite with the geological process of weathering and erosion, which controlled by the lithological features, regional faults and climate, then gradually contribute to the granitic low hill landform, characterized by collapse and falling- stone accumulation and pebbly landform. Additionally, the Mount Meiling area has been affected by the superimposition of Pacific tectonic domain and Tethys tectonic domain since Cenozoic, which resulted in tectonic uplift and erosion, and which is obviously controlled by regional faults. The landscapes of canyon and waterfall in the studied area mainly developed along NE- , NNE- and nearly EW- trending structure. The development of modern granite landscapes of the Mount Meiling began with the disintegration of the first regional level planation surface of Eocene, and experienced at least two tectonic uplifting and erosion, gradually formed the typical granitic low hill landscape today.
