Geopark the sea arch north of Bitou Cape
belongs to East China Sea, and
the south belongs to the Pacific
Ocean. The geological structure
consitists of a synclinal axis
extended in the Northeast sea
area. The rocks alternate from
shales to sandstone. Because the
shale is eroded by the rainwater
and weathered very fast, it
formed unstable slopes or steep

鼻頭角的砂岩裡夾有頁岩層，由於頁岩受雨水侵蝕及
風化的速度較快，因而形成不穩定的邊坡或是深凹的海蝕凹
壁。本區具有相當多樣的地形景觀，囊括範圍較大的海崖、
海階與海蝕平臺，與範圍較小的蕈狀岩、交錯層、豆腐岩
等。龍洞出露的地層是由較北部海岸堅硬的岩石「四稜砂
岩」(或稱四稜砂岩)所構成，其主要的成分是始新至漸新世
的石英質砂岩。
