Geography:

Mount Tai was formed about 30 million years ago in the middle of the Cenozoic Era. The strata in the Taishan area are ancient, mainly composed of several ancient rocks such as migmatite, migmatite and various gneisses. They are about 2.4-2.5 billion years old and belong to the Archean rock type.

The western Shandong area (including Mount Tai) was once a huge subsidence zone or sea canal. The orogeny caused the rock folds in the subsidence zone to uplift into ancient continents, forming a huge mountain system. After 2 billion years of weathering and erosion, the terrain gradually became flat.

About 600 million years ago, Mount Tai sank into the sea again. After about another 100 million years, the entire area was once again lifted into land. The ancient Mount Tai rose into a relatively low barren hill.

In the late Mesozoic Era, about 100 million years ago, due to the extrusion and subduction of the Pacific Plate to the Eurasian Plate, Mount Tai's strata were extensively folded and fractured under the influence of the Yanshan Movement.

During frequent crustal movements, Mount Tai rose rapidly. About 30 million years ago in the middle of the Cenozoic, the outline of Mount Tai today was basically formed.

Climate:

The climate up and down Mount Tai has obvious vertical changes. The average temperature in January at the foot of the mountain is -3℃, and at the top of the mountain is -9℃. The average temperature in July at the foot of the mountain is 26℃, and at the top of the mountain is 18℃. The annual precipitation increases with height. The annual precipitation at the top of the mountain is 1132 mm, while at the bottom of the mountain is only 722.6 mm.

The four seasons are distinct at the bottom of the mountain. The three seasons on the top of the mountain are like spring and winter is like jade. That is to say, the rime in winter is as crystal clear as jade, which is one of the important landscapes. The wind and sand are heavy in spring. Mount Tai has a long winter, with a freezing period of 150 days and a minimum temperature of -27.5°C at the top, creating a spectacle of rime and rain.
