Resource classification

Mountain resources

Taiping National Forest Park is located in the North Qinling tectonic belt, a secondary tectonic unit of the Qinling orogenic belt. From the perspective of plate tectonics and paleoenvironment, it is located in the north of the ancient trench and the side close to the mainland (north of the present plate suture zone). The main part of the strata in Taiping scenic area belongs to the Paleoproterozoic Qinling group. The protoliths are continental margin clastic rocks and a small amount of continental overflow tholeiitic basalt and acidic volcanic rocks, which were formed 2.2 billion years ago and are the basement of volcanic island arc. Due to the high heat flow value of the ancient island arc and the strong tectonic movements such as plate subduction, collision and intracontinental orogeny, extensive deformation metamorphism, migmatization and multi-stage magmatic intrusion occurred in the Qinling group in the Paleozoic, with the Caledonian intermediate and high-grade regional metamorphism as the main function (440 million years ago). Since the Cenozoic, fault structure, weathering and denudation have finally formed today's rich and colorful geological structure relics.
