Extended data

The geographical features of Wuxi include:

1, the prototype of Wuxi landform was formed in Cathaysian structure in Indosinian period (about1.800 million years ago), which made Wuxi area fold into land. Yanshan movement (about 65.438+0.5 billion ~ 70 million years ago) was due to strong volcanic activity and the formation of new fold structures, which regenerated and lifted the originally stable basement.

2. The Himalayan movement about 25 million years ago was dominated by differential uplift movement. On the basis of the old structure, the folds and faults between the east and the west were strengthened, and a depression basin centered on modern Taihu Lake was formed in the east of Jiangyin and Yixing.
