| Types of Terrain |
Wufeng Town is a plain
basin with half flats and half sloping fields (for around
40%). Due to the geographical structure, the rise and fall
of the terrain is very great with height of edge slopes at
more than 130 meters. The mountain crest line is approximately
in northeast and southwest direction. Save for the sloping
fields in Fenggu Village, the single-sided mountain terrain
is not obvious and partial flats are scattered in the dry
river valleys. |

terrain |
The rock formation in the
Town is composed by thicker shale and alternations of SS and
SS. Lots of small-scale terrain structure led to great changes
of geographical levels. It is located in the east of Che Long
Pu Fault, an overthrust fault. The line broken has been covered
by the broad alluvium with the direction of rock formation
in northeast to southwest, slanting to southeast at 25-45
degrees. The exposed rock formations, from old to new, are
jin shui shale and zhou lan level in Pliocene with terrace
piles and modern alluvium.
It is easier to discover the influences of terrain caused
by the small-scale structure on partial areas. On the east
and west sides of Guangfu Village and Kengco Village in the
Town, three small folds were found. The two are slanting backwards
with the one synclinal. The anises are in northeast and southwest
direction. The synclinal axis crosses the Fengshanfeng Valley
and is cut by the Ganxi fault at the north of Ganxi. The northwest
wing of slanted axis is slightly north/south and slants to
east at around 42 degrees. The southeast wing of the axis
is in north/south direction with slightly slanting to west
at 60 degrees. The backward slanting axis on the north of
Ganxi fault passes the south of Fenggu Village while that
on the north passes Tongfong Village. Based on the above structures,
we can induce that it might be the minor structure caused
by the overthrust fault of Che Long Pu. |
