General situation of Wulate Middle Banner in Inner Mongolia

The geological structure division of Wulate Zhongqi belongs to the western unit area of Inner Mongolia and is a part of the east-west banded structure. The exposed strata are from old to new: Wutai Group and Manitu Group in Upper Archaean and Lower Proterozoic. The Zaertai Group, Baiyun Obo Group and Wendur Temple Group in Mesoproterozoic. Upper Paleozoic Lower Paleozoic, Upper Carboniferous and Lower Permian. Mesozoic Lower-Middle-Upper Jurassic and Lower-Upper Cretaceous. Lower part of Upper Tertiary, lower part of Upper Pleistocene, Holocene and Triassic missing in Cenozoic.

Known exposed rocks in China include igneous rocks, such as granite, basalt, andesite, pegmatite, diabase, gabbro, bluestone and various dikes. Mudstone, sandstone, limestone, glutenite, conglomerate, marl, shale, etc. Sedimentary rocks (water rocks); Gneiss, quartzite, schist, secondary quartzite, hornblende, etc. Metamorphic rocks (including igneous rocks and water rocks).

The geological structure in the territory is complex, belonging to two first-order structural units, namely, the southern margin of Chuanjing-Sangendalai Mesozoic depression, bounded by the Daxinganling geosyncline fold system in the north and the North China platform in the south. Due to the influence of tectonic movements in different periods and numerous large-scale magmatic activities, geological structures are seriously damaged, and some strata are missing, resulting in folds, folds and even inversion and fragmentation, thus forming and producing various industrial value deposits.

In the whole geological structure, there are six sub-regional geological structure units with nearly east-west direction. From north to south, they are:

The ultrabasic rock belt in the southern wing of the Mongolian syncline is located in the northern border of Mongolia, that is, the Suolunshan area, which is a part of the southern wing of the Mongolian syncline. Ultra-basic rock is a kind of magmatic rock containing chromium ore liquid. Due to long-term geological action, it was exposed on the surface after Permian, and continued to undergo weathering, crushing, residual and loss, forming chromite and secondary leaching magnesite (confirmed by geological exploration).

Chuanjing-Sangendalai depression belt is located between the south wing of Mongolia syncline and Hadateshan fold belt, which was formed in Mesozoic and continued to be subjected to sedimentation. It is a nearly east-west depression area with a sedimentary thickness of 1.5 ~ 2.5km, an east-west length of 150km and a north-south width of 20~30 km, extending to the northwest of Bayin Hang Gai. According to a large number of exploration data, there are a large number of lignite and a small amount of bituminous coal in the middle and deep part of the belt, and there are petroleum, natural gas, manganese, iron and other minerals in the deep part.

Hadatesi mountain fold belt is located in the south of Chuanjing-Sangendalai depression belt, and magmatic rocks are well exposed, mainly granite, pegmatite, basaltic andesite and granite gneiss. Among them, pegmatite veins in different periods are immersed in different strata. It contains mica, crystal, beryllium, tantalum and niobium minerals, as well as tourmaline, highland, purple tooth, spodumene and topaz. There are Iceland spar, agate and other minerals with good texture in the pores of basalt. The valleys, gullies and terraces in this area contain high-grade and high-quality placer gold and heavy sand minerals.

Hulusitai-Wengeng depression area is an intermountain depression area with NE-SW direction, and it is an area that continues to decline and accept sedimentation. The main strata are sandstone, conglomerate, glutenite and marl of Jurassic and Cretaceous, and are covered with gravel layer and siltstone soil layer of Tertiary and Quaternary. Bituminous coal, coking coal and stone coal are found in Jurassic strata. Due to the Mesozoic structural damage, local strata and coal seams were destroyed and broken. The eastern end of the depression extends to the junction of the eastern basement, passing through the Bayanhatai, Chulutu and Shihahe Baiyun Obo Group and Wutai Group strata, spreading in the east-west direction, and it is an intermountain quasi-plain and intermountain hill. Under the long-term geological action, magnetite, limonite, placer gold and other minerals are distributed in this area. Among them, the basalt areas erupted in Tertiary include agate, wall jade, pulp stone and Iceland spar.

The Langshan-Chatashan fold belt starts from Langshan in the west, passes through Deling Mountain in the middle and reaches Chatashan Mountain in the east. It is located on the north side of Urad Zhongqi section of Gucha (Guyang-Chasogou) highway, and its eastern section faces Wuliangsuhai across the river and the western section of Wuliangsuhai. Geological structure, stratigraphic change and sedimentary formation are very complicated, with strong topographic cutting and large relative height difference. It is an east-west fold belt dominated by Zhongshan-Lowland (influenced by twisting structure, its western section is curved in the east-west direction and extends to the northeast and southwest outside the municipal area), which is mainly composed of Zhaertai Group, Wulashan Group, Langshan, Zenglongchang, Liuhongwan and Agulugou.

The piedmont fault zone is located in the piedmont plain on the south side of the Langshan-Chasitai fold zone, which is a part of the piedmont deep fault zone in western Inner Mongolia, and it is a descending area (the northern part belongs to an ascending area) that continues to receive sedimentation. According to the investigation, the total thickness of sedimentary formations above the basement of this deep fault is more than 4500m, and it is composed of sandstone, glutenite, marl, silty sandstone and sandy humus soil layer. Only in Quaternary, the thickness of sandy soil humus layer was greater than1000 m.. This zone is rich in groundwater, lithium ore, biogas, grass coal and clay ore. In the contact zone between the southern edge of the northern fold belt and the northern edge of this fault zone, hundreds of descending springs are exposed, and some of the springs are exposed and gathered into streams to form rivers, forming valuable irrigation resources. Because this zone is a deep fault zone and an earthquake-prone area.

Landform Wulate Middle Banner is located in the west of Inner Mongolia Plateau. It is divided into different natural landforms in the north and south by Erlang Mountain, Wuliangsu Mountain and Chasitai Mountain in the east-west direction of the yinshan mountains, with obvious regional differences and obvious transitional changes. The ancient tea road is divided into the southern piedmont quasi-plain area and the northern plateau area.

Disasters: The main meteorological disasters endangering agriculture and animal husbandry production in Urad Middle Banner are drought, hail, dry hot wind, frost, gale, sandstorm, white hair wind, white disaster and cold wave. Surface water The surface water in Wulate Middle Banner is divided into two water systems with the junction of Langshan and Wulanchabu Plateau as the watershed. The south of the mountain range is the Yellow River system, and the north is the inland river system. The drainage area of Wulate Zhongqi, which belongs to the Yellow River system, is 10875.6 12 square kilometers, with 45 gullies and 6 major rivers. Because of the steep ground slope, well-developed river valley system and tortuous river bed, most small and medium-sized reservoirs are built in the lower reaches of major river valleys, which are the main water sources for piedmont agriculture. Runoff in the valley in Banner is mainly formed by rainfall, and the runoff in various places is affected by rainfall, and the trend is consistent with the zonal distribution of rainfall. The depth of surface runoff in the Yellow River basin is between 4- 10 mm, and the average surface runoff for many years is 59.734 million cubic meters. The annual average surface runoff modulus is 5492 cubic meters/year. Square kilometers. The drainage area of Wulate Zhongqi is 12 12 1.778 square kilometers, belonging to the inland river system. There are eight major rivers, and precipitation is the only source of water for rivers. The annual and annual changes of runoff are mainly affected by rainfall. The depth of surface runoff in the inland river area is about 3 mm, and the average surface runoff for many years is 163 136400 cubic meters, and the average surface runoff modulus for many years is 1345.8 cubic meters/year square kilometer.

Due to the complex geological structure, groundwater varies from place to place, which is characterized by decreasing from east to west and from south to north. In piedmont Yellow River Diversion Irrigation Area, the pore water of Quaternary loose rocks in inland river basin is the main source, with continuous aquifer distribution and abundant reserves. The lithology of the water layer is mainly medium-coarse sand and gravel, with a thickness of 30-70 meters and a buried depth of 10 meter. The salinity in most areas is less than 2g/L, and the salinity in the south of Hongfeng Township and Wuliangsutai Township is more than 2g/L ... The recharge method mainly depends on Yellow River irrigation and mountain flood infiltration. The groundwater around Xinhure and Shiha River in Yinshan area is mainly bedrock fissure water, and the aquifer is mainly granite weathering crust and fracture zone, rhyolite, andesite and basalt layered fissure water. The depth of weathering crust is generally less than 30m, the fracture can reach 40-147m and the buried depth of water level is generally less than10m. Most of the water quality is good. In addition, there are pore water distribution of Quaternary loose rocks, which is bifurcated and gully-shaped, with water level 1-5m and salinity less than 2g/L. In Wulate high plains, pore fissure water of Tertiary clastic rocks is mainly distributed in Chuanjing, Sangendalai and ocean current map. The lithology of the aquifer is mainly conglomerate, glutenite, argillaceous sandstone and sandy mudstone, with the thickness of 30-40m, the buried depth of the roof of 40-80m and the static water level of 10-30m. And quaternary pore water. The salinity is mostly between1-2g/L. The salinity in Bayin Hang Gai, northern Ulan and northeastern Sangendale is more than 2g/L. The recharge method is mainly atmospheric precipitation.
