location

The northern slope of Changbai Mountain is located in Erdaobaihe Town, which is named Erdaobaihe Town for short because it spans both banks of Erdaobaihe River. Erdaobaihe Town is located in the southwest of Antu County, on the north slope of Changbai Mountain, 35 kilometers away from the county seat 100 and Changbai Mountain. The town is 49.2km wide from east to west and 64.8km long from north to south, with an area of1987.95km2.. The total population is over 60,000, of which ethnic minorities account for about 15%. BMW is the site of Xingzhou City, Zhongjing, Bohai Kingdom in Tang Dynasty.

A long geological history

In the geological history of hundreds of millions of years, Changbai Mountain has experienced many vicissitudes. At first, it was submerged by sea water, and there was Wang Yang sea everywhere. Later, due to the rise of the earth's crust, the seawater withdrew and the surface resurfaced. Under the action of external forces such as sunshine, rain and climate change, the ground rocks are weathered and destroyed. Finally, Changbai Mountain experienced volcanic eruption and glacier sculpture, forming today's landscape.

About 30 million years ago, in Tertiary, the earth entered a new period of activity, that is, Himalayan orogeny in geology. In about 25 million years, Changbai Mountain experienced four volcanic eruptions. Basaltic magma starts from the upper mantle, rises along the huge cracks in the earth's crust, and ejects from the surface with great energy (geologically called fractured volcanic eruption). During the period from about 600,000 years ago to 6,543.8+0.5 million years ago (Middle-late Pleistocene in Quaternary), Changbai Mountain area experienced another period of crustal activity, which was geologically called Changbai Mountain period. During this period, there were four volcanic eruptions, and the eruption mode was characterized by central type. Underground magma upwells along the cylindrical channel formed at the intersection of deep and large faults, forming a volcanic cone landscape on the surface.

The ejecta about 600,000 years ago formed by the first volcanic eruption constitute the floor of the volcanic cone in Changbai Mountain. The second volcanic eruption was about 400,000 to 300,000 years ago. The eruption lasted for a long time, and the rock strata were widely distributed and thick. The third volcanic eruption was about 200 ~ 654.38+ ten thousand years ago, and finally completed the shape of the volcanic cone in Changbai Mountain. The fourth eruption was about 80,000 years ago, which was dominated by small-scale volcanic activity, and lava flows covered some areas of the volcanic cone. At this point, the main peak of Changbai Mountain was formed. In the above four volcanic activities, the volcanic material ejected each time lifted the volcano by more than 200 meters. At the same time, some small parasitic craters have been formed around the main crater. Since then, Changbai Mountain has entered a relatively stable period.

1 1000 to 15000 years ago (during the Quaternary Holocene), the volcano revived again, spewing a large number of gray-white and yellowish pumice with a local thickness of 60 meters. This violent volcanic eruption caused the top of the volcanic cone to collapse, forming a funnel-shaped crater. When the intensity of volcanic eruption and the temperature of lava gradually decrease, molten magma gradually condenses in the volcanic passage, blocking the volcanic passage. After the volcanism stopped, the crater was continuously supplemented by atmospheric precipitation and groundwater, and gradually stored into a lake, forming a volcanic lake. This is the famous Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain. There are many peaks around the crater lake in Changbai Mountain, among which there are 16 peaks over 2500 meters, and the heights of other peaks are over 2300 meters.

The top of the mountain is almost entirely composed of volcanic ash and yellow pumice that erupted about 12000 years ago. When the main body of Changbai Mountain was formed, the area entered the intermittent period of volcanic eruption, and the crustal movement was relatively stable. According to historical records, since 1597, Changbai Mountain volcano has had three small-scale intermittent activities. The first eruption was on August 26th of 1597 (twenty-five years of Ming Wanli). According to eyewitness records, there was "a gunshot, and when I looked up, the smoke would be folded out with Zhang Tian and the stone, and I didn't know where to go after flying over the mountain." The second eruption was in 1668 (the seventh year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty), and a "rain ash" (i.e. volcanic ash) fell in Changbai Mountain area. The third eruption was in1April, 702 (forty-one year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty). Changbai Mountain volcano is in a dormant period. On the mountain at an altitude of more than 2000 meters, there are many hot springs constantly overflowing from the ground, which shows that there is still huge energy underground. According to modern earthquake observation, the crust in Changbai Mountain area is relatively stable, and there is no sign of volcanic eruption.

A rolling mountain range

The southern part of the mountain belongs to the Sino-Korean paraplatform, and the northern part belongs to the Jihei Variscan fold belt. The Mesozoic Yanshan movement unified the north-south structural direction and formed the Cathaysian mountain base. During the tertiary Himalayan movement, large-scale fractured blocks rose, accompanied by a large number of basalts. The mountainous area is mainly composed of granite, basalt, gneiss and schist, and granite has the widest distribution area. Basalt is mainly distributed in Mudanjiang River Basin and around Changbai Mountain.

Changbai Mountain is characterized by the alternate distribution of equal mountains and wide mountain basins and valleys. Most of the mountains are at an altitude of 500 ~ 1000 meters, and only some of them exceed 1000 meters. More than 2000 meters are near Changbai Mountain, with the highest peak of 2749.2 meters, which is one of the highest peaks in East Asia. Zhongshan District is mainly distributed in the eastern part of Zhangguangcailing, Laoyeling, Weihuling and Longgang Mountain, and the mountain is generally above 1000 meters. Low mountains and hills are the most widely distributed, including Wanda Mountains, Hadaling in Jilin and Daheishan.

Abundant precipitation

Changbai Mountain is one of the places with the most precipitation in Northeast China, and the annual precipitation at the southern foot of the mountain exceeds1000 mm; Generally, the annual precipitation is 500 ~ 800 mm, and the water system is dominated by longitudinal rivers. The Songhua River system from north to northwest includes Songhua River, Mudanjiang River, Muling River, Woken River and Naoli River, accounting for more than 40% of the total flow. Dongpo is the Tumen River system, with tributaries such as Gaya River, Buerhatong River and Hailan River. The south slope belongs to Yalu River and Liaohe River system, and its tributaries are Hunjiang River, Hunhe River and Taizi River. The water system is radial.
