geographical environment

Location context

Qingcheng district is located between 23 ° 42 ′ - 23 ° 27 ′ N and 112 ° 50 ′ - 113 ° 22 ′ e, in the north central part of Guangdong Province, in the south of Qingyuan City, adjacent to Fogang County in the East, Huadu District in the south, Sanshui District of Foshan City in the southwest and Qingxin District in the north, with a total area of 1296.31 square kilometers.

Geology and geomorphology

Qingcheng district is high in the northeast and low in the southwest, most of which are plain and hilly. The altitude of the northern mountains ranges from more than 700 meters to several 10 meters, with a small number of high mountains. The mountain terrain is obviously cut and the landscape is beautiful. In the southeast, there are sandstone slate and granite. The weathering crust of granite is generally developed, and the elevation is generally between 10m and 500m above sea level. In the middle and southwest, there are red beds and quaternary distribution, the terrain is gentle, and the altitude is within several 10 meters. The area is located at the junction of the central Guangdong depression fold bundle and the Hunan Guangdong depression fold bundle in the Eastern Guangxi Hunan Jiangxi fold belt, and at the margin of the Guangdong Guangxi uplift, and is a part of the South China fold system. At the same time, it is also the intersection of Fogang Fengliang latitudinal structural belt and Wuchuan Sihui XINHUAXIA fault belt. Due to the development and superposition of different structural systems and the large-scale magmatic intrusion in the west of Shanghai Indosinian and early Yanshanian, the geological structure in the area is more complex.

Qingcheng district is located at the junction of the plain of Pearl River Delta and the mountainous area of northern Guangdong, with the landform of mountains, hills and plains. The terrain is generally inclined from northeast to southwest. The highest point is Damao mountain, with an altitude of 779 meters. The lowest point is Liantang of shijiaohu mountain, with an area of 86 Mu and an altitude of 4 meters. There are many mountains in the north, the East and the south, and there are large plains with small hills in the southwest, with scattered low mountains in between. Feilai Gorge is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Beijiang River (below Feilai Gorge is the lower reaches of the Beijiang River). It is located in the northern end of the alluvial plain of the Pearl River Delta, with flat terrain, crisscross River pits and many ponds.

climate

Qingcheng district is located in the north central part of Guangdong Province, at the intersection of the Pearl River delta plain and the mountainous area of northern Guangdong. It is the transitional zone between the continental air mass and the marine gas. Because it is located in the low latitude, the Tropic of cancer passes through the southern edge, which is affected by the atmospheric circulation in the low latitude and restricted by the atmospheric circulation in the middle and high latitude. In winter, it is located at the edge of Mongolian high pressure, and the northerly airflow prevails.

Whenever the strong cold air moves southward, its cold front sweeps over the area, causing general cooling, strong wind and rainfall. After the passage of cold front, the weather is generally sunny due to the control of cold high pressure. In early summer, it is located in the northern edge of the Western Pacific subtropical high, and the southwest monsoon advances to South China, bringing abundant rainfall. In midsummer and early autumn, with the northward withdrawal of westerlies and the northward jump of subtropical high, the tropical convergence zone moves northward correspondingly, and the typhoon activity increases. It is often affected by the tropical depression and typhoon circulation. However, due to the inland area, the intensity of most tropical cyclones in the affected area has been greatly weakened. Generally speaking, the landing tropical cyclones have little influence on the region, but the landing tropical cyclones near the Pearl River Estuary have great influence on the region, regardless of wind or precipitation intensity.

On the whole, the tropical cyclone activity has more advantages than disadvantages to the weather in the region. It can not only bring abundant precipitation, but also alleviate the high temperature weather. In spring, cold air from the South and warm air from the north often confront each other in South China, resulting in a long period of low temperature and rainy weather in the region, with less sunshine. The rainy season starts from this time, and April enters into the pre flood season. In autumn, the Mongolian cold high gradually formed, and the northeast monsoon gradually occupied the ground layer, but the upper air was still occupied by the subtropical high, and the number of tropical cyclone activities began to decrease, forming a clear and dry autumn weather with small rainfall and humidity, warm day and cool night. At the same time, due to sunny weather, evaporation, less precipitation, prone to drought disaster weather.

Qingcheng district belongs to the humid monsoon climate dominated by the mid subtropical climate, which is affected by the monsoon all the year round. The climate is distinct: the alternation of cold and warm air in spring is frequent, with low temperature and rainy weather. Summer is hot and hot, with thunderstorms in midsummer afternoon. It's sunny in autumn, crisp in autumn and big temperature difference between day and night. Winter is relatively cold, with low temperature weather every year, and frost in some years. There are abundant climate resources, sufficient sunshine, abundant precipitation, and basically the same season of rain and heat
