geological structure

Weibin area is located in Qilu arc fold belt, which has two different geological units: Weihe Fault Basin in the north and Qinling axis in the south. The strata in the area belong to Qinling area of Kunlun Qinling area, mainly including quaternary, tertiary and lower Paleozoic metamorphic rock series.

topographic features

The southern part of Weibin District is Qinling mountain area, the northern part is Weihe terrace, the middle part is low mountain slope, the south is high and the north is low. Weihe River is the lowest point at the junction of Qingshui River and Weihe River, with an altitude of 561 meters; Yuhuang mountain, one of the main peaks of Qinling ridge, is the highest point, with an altitude of 2774 meters and a relative elevation difference of 2213 meters.

Qinling Mountains extend from Gansu Province to Shaanxi Province. Its main feature is that the mountains are East-West trending, like a long ridge, with undulating ridges. The north side of the ridge is north-south. Among the mountains, there are 11 tributaries which are consistent with the direction of the mountains. The river is short and the flow direction is roughly parallel. It often meets the Weihe River at right angles or near right angles. Mountainous river narrow, commonly known as "ditch.". The area is characterized by vertical and horizontal gullies, steep mountains and deep gullies, and wide and flat on both sides of Weihe River.

The landforms in the area can be divided into three types according to their forms and causes

River Valley terrace

Floodplain: symmetrically distributed along both banks of Weihe River, divided into high and low floodplain. The low floodplain is 0.5-1.5m higher than the riverbed. The high floodplain on the north bank is wide, and the high floodplain on the south bank is narrow, generally 1.5-2.5 meters higher than the riverbed. The floodplain formed by high and low floodplain is higher in the West and lower in the East, with a slope of 2.2 ‰.

The first terrace is distributed intermittently along the wide valley section on both sides of the Weihe River. The terrace is widened from west to East, with a width of 0.3-2.2 km. The ground is gently inclined to the riverbed (2-3 °), 2-10 m higher than the normal water level of the Weihe River. The terraces of Qingjiang River are distributed in the East Bank of the river with a gradient of 8 ‰.

Second terrace: it is distributed on both sides of the Weihe River, 10-25m higher than the normal water level of the Weihe River, with narrow terrace, generally 0.2-0.6km wide. The front edge of the terrace is connected with the first terrace, and the back edge is bounded by the remnant.

Hilly area

It is mainly distributed in the south of Weihe River, between 650-850 meters above sea level. In front of the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains, due to long-term water cutting, the ground, which used to be a terrace, has now become a mound. The density of the gully is high and it cuts into the bedrock. With the continuous development of gullies, slope collapses and landslides occur from time to time. Huangjiashan, dengdeng temple, lijiacao and fengjiayuan are the main stations.
