Geological characteristics of Changsha city

The strata in Changsha area are fully exposed, granite bodies are widely distributed and the geological structure is complex. Various geological and historical strata are exposed in Changsha, and the oldest stratum was formed about 654.38 billion years ago. About 600 million years ago, Changsha was still a sea of Wang Yang, but the sea was not deep. After that, the sea gradually withdrew from east to west, and most areas of Liuyang, Changsha and Wangcheng surfaced, becoming the northwest edge of Jiangnan ancient land.

About/kloc-0.40 billion years ago, the seawater immersion in Changsha area ended and rose to land. Due to the influence of crustal movement and geological structure, a long (sand) flat (river) basin was formed. Since Cenozoic, the whole Changping basin has risen to land. About 3.5 million years ago, the third ice age occurred on the earth, and Liuyang preserved the remains of glacial landforms.
