Geology and geomorphology

There are mainly pre Sinian and Sinian metamorphic rock series, Mesozoic volcanic rock, granite and clastic rock in Wuyishan.

In the late Mesozoic, strong volcanic eruption took place in Wuyishan, followed by large-scale granite intrusion. Abundant volcanic institutions have been found in this area, which is a typical structural feature of the Pacific Rim in eastern Asia. The red glutenite in the late Cretaceous is the main body of Danxia landform.

Mesozoic crustal movement laid the basic framework of Wuyishan landform. Jiaoxing is also very obvious to the landform development of Wuyi Mountain. The peaks above 1500m in the West are basically composed of hard tuffaceous lava and rhyolite, while the red sand shale area in the East is often developed with wide valleys and basins. Therefore, the rich geomorphic types of Wuyi Mountain are the result of the comprehensive action of geological structure, water erosion, weathering and erosion, gravity collapse and so on.
