水體景觀
廣西(xi)資(zi)源國家(jia)地(di)質(zhi)公園雨量充沛(pei),地(di)表水資(zi)源豐富,清泉、飛瀑、溪流縱橫(heng)交錯,匯(hui)流成江河。
資江漂流
資(zi)(zi)(zi)江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)和漓(li)江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)是姊妹(mei)江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang),同發(fa)源于2141.5 米的(de)(de)華南(nan)第(di)一高(gao)峰貓兒山(shan),資(zi)(zi)(zi)江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)穿地質公園而(er)過,流經湖南(nan)而(er)注入(ru)洞庭湖,屬長(chang)江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)水(shui)系,公園境內流長(chang)22.5公里,下(xia)45個灘,拐31個灣,天然落差1432米。資(zi)(zi)(zi)江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)既有(you)長(chang)江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)三峽的(de)(de)雄偉(wei)奇峻,又有(you)漓(li)江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)的(de)(de)優雅秀麗,還(huan)獨具清純幽靜、靈動飄(piao)逸(yi)的(de)(de)特點,資(zi)(zi)(zi)江(jiang)(jiang)(jiang)流域植被茂密(mi),生態環境良好,具備水(shui)體(ti)類旅游“風景河段”和“漂(piao)流河段”的(de)(de)全部(bu)條件(jian)。
寶鼎瀑布
當河流流經呈(cheng)懸(xuan)崖式(shi)河床時,一種河水(shui)傾瀉、飛(fei)流直(zhi)下的(de)動感(gan)景觀現象稱瀑(pu)布,規模較小的(de)叫(jiao)跌(die)水(shui)。瀑(pu)布有很強的(de)掏蝕(shi)作用,在(zai)長(chang)期作用下,可造成(cheng)坎坷的(de)溯源后退,形成(cheng)峽谷、壺穴等(deng)地形。瀑(pu)布按跌(die)水(shui)次數分為單級(ji)瀑(pu)布和多(duo)級(ji)瀑(pu)布。寶(bao)鼎瀑(pu)布發源于華南第二高峰寶(bao)鼎山(shan),從瀑(pu)頂到(dao)瀑(pu)底,落差(cha)700 米,由于山(shan)勢交錯(cuo)出現陡坡和平臺而形成(cheng)一瀑(pu)九折,是典(dian)型的(de)多(duo)級(ji)瀑(pu)布。明代(dai)地理學家(jia)、旅(lv)行家(jia)徐霞(xia)客(ke)考(kao)察(cha)寶(bao)鼎瀑(pu)布后贊“懸(xuan)崖飛(fei)瀑(pu),長(chang)如布,轉如傾,勻如簾”。
