Flame mountain temperature

The highest temperature in Turpan, Xinjiang where the Flame Mountain is located is 49.6 degrees Celsius.

The annual average temperature 14 degrees Celsius, and the summer average temperature is about 30 degrees Celsius. There are 99 days of high temperature weather with annual temperature above 35 degrees Celsius, and 28 days of high temperature weather above 40 degrees Celsius. Flame Mountain, called Chishi Mountain in ancient times, is located in the northern edge of Turpan Basin, north of the ancient Silk Road.

East-west direction. The Flame Mountain is called "Qizil Tage" in Uygur language, which means "Red Mountain". The Tang people once called it "volcano" because it was very hot. The length of the mountain is 100 km, the widest point is 10 km, and the elevation is about 500 meters. The elevation of the main peak is 83 17 meters.

The flaming mountain, the mountains and the mountains, the grass is barren and the birds' songs disappear.

Formation and evolution:

The heat and dryness of Flame Mountain are attributed to the unique natural and geographical conditions here. Flame Mountain is one of the branches of Tianshan Mountain, which was formed during Himalayan orogeny 50-60 million years ago. For thousands of years, numerous fold belts left by the lateral movement of the earth's crust and the wind erosion and rain stripping of nature have formed the ups and downs and vertical and horizontal gullies of the Flame Mountain.

The flame mountain anticline is the spatial framework for the formation of the flame mountain. During the Yanshan movement, the uplift occurred in this area, which made the lower Cretaceous and the upper Cretaceous in false integration contact. By the end of Cretaceous, large-scale folds appeared in this area.

The sign of this movement is the unconformity between Cretaceous, Paleogene and Neogene, and it is also the basic formation of Huoyanshan uplift, that is, the formation of Huoyanshan anticline, which has built a spatial framework for the formation of Huoyanshan landform.
