This week I continued to sketch the Devil's Town area, first of all I researched the reasons for the formation of this landform, which allowed me to take the details one step further.

Hundreds of millions of years ago, there was a drought here, and then the lake gradually dried up due to floods and strong winds that swept the sand into the bottom of the lake, and the dry lake bottom in the arid area was cracked due to drying, and the wind blew along these cracks, and the cracks grew more and more, so that the original bottom ground grew into many irregular dorsal crucian crucian ridges and wide and shallow exchanges.



The types of aeolian landforms mainly include aeolian mushrooms, aeolian columns, and aeolian valleys.

Wind erosion mushrooms: isolated external rocks that grow on horizontal joints and fractures, after long-term wind erosion, form rocks with a large upper part and a small base, and look like mushrooms.

Wind erosion column: The wind blows away the exposed bedrock with both vertical and horizontal fractures for a long time, forming an isolated wind erosion column.

Wind erosion valley: In arid desert areas, torrents occasionally rush to the ground due to heavy rainfall, which can form many gullies. These gullies can be deepened and expanded into wind-erosion valleys after long-term wind erosion transformation, and the shape is not definite, and the long and narrow trenches can be repaired, and they are also about a wide valley.



With geological changes such as earthquakes, some areas have gradually uplifted and become plateaus.


Due to the cementation and reinforcement of the rock formation, the later strata are still flat and scarce. Geology calls it the "Gobi Plateau"
