Among them, the stones are mainly biotite granite, biotite adamellite and granodiorite, which are widely distributed in low mountains, hills and platforms in the city, with Wuguishan and Zhusongling being the most abundant reserves; Underground hot water contains fluorine and radon, which has medical value and can be used for hot spring bath. Mainly distributed in Sanxiang, Tanzhou and Cuiheng. Mineral water is a mineral resource development industry that rose in the late 1980s. It belongs to granite fissure water and is a natural mineral water with low salinity of metasilicic acid, which is mainly distributed in the mountainous areas from Wugui Mountain to Shenwan. The sand is mainly medium-coarse quartz sand, which is mainly distributed in the coastal area of Longxue and the Xiasha belt in the east of the city. Refractory clay is mainly distributed near Haotou Village, Zhongshan Torch High-tech Industrial Development Zone.

geographical environment

Zhongshan City is located in the south-central part of Guangdong Province, which is the downstream of the south-central part of the Pearl River Delta and the place where the Beijiang River enters the sea. It is connected with Nansha District of Guangzhou and Shunde District of Foshan City in the north, Jiangmen City, Xinhui District and Doumen District of Zhuhai City in the west, Zhuhai City in the southeast, Lingdingyang in the Pearl River Estuary in the east and Shenzhen City and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region across the river. The whole territory lies between 2211'-22 47' north latitude and113 09'-13 46' east longitude. Administrative jurisdiction area 1783.67 square kilometers. The urban land is 86 kilometers north of Guangzhou, 65 kilometers southeast of Macau, and 52 nautical miles from zhongshan port waterway to Hongkong.

topography

The terrain of Zhongshan City is mainly plain, with high terrain in the middle and flat surroundings, and the plain area inclines from northwest to southeast. Wugui Mountain and Zhusongling Mountain stand in the south-central part of the city. The main peak of Wugui Mountain is 53 1 m above sea level, which is the highest peak in the city. The terrain consists of low mountains, hills, terraces and alluvial plains and beaches at the mouth of the Pearl River. Among them, low hills and terraces account for 24% of the total area, with an altitude of 10-200m, and the soil type is lateritic red soil. Plains and beaches account for 68% of the total area, and the general elevation is -0.5- 1m, in which paddy soil and basic water soil are the types of plains, and coastal salt marsh soil and coastal sandy soil are widely distributed in beaches. The river area accounts for 8% of the whole country. The Xihai Waterway and Modaomen Waterway in the lower reaches of Xijiang River flow through the western boundary of the city from north to south, and Modaomen flows out of the South China Sea. Li Hongqi Waterway in the lower reaches of Beijiang River passes through the northeast boundary of the city from northwest to southeast, and exits the Pearl River Estuary from Hongqimen. In the meantime, branches crisscross, in which Xiaolan Waterway and Jiya Waterway cross the northern half of the urban area, merge into Hengmen Waterway, and leave the Pearl River Estuary from Hengmen Waterway. The water system is divided into two parts: plain river network and low mountain and hilly river network. The river network in the plain area is deeply influenced by the tides in the South China Sea and has the characteristics of a typical estuary area.

climate

Zhongshan belongs to subtropical monsoon climate, with sufficient light and heat and abundant rainfall. The annual average temperature (1981-2010) is 22.5℃. There is abundant rainfall, with an annual average precipitation of 65,438 0.886 mm and sunshine hours of 65,438 0.705.4 hours. The annual average number of thunderstorm days is 68.2 days.

hydrology

Zhongshan City is located in the south-central part of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Lingdingyang in the east. Modaomen, Hengmen and Li Hongqi pass through the Pearl River's eight major waterways to the sea. The city has vast plains, rolling hills and a lot of rainfall. Water system can be divided into two distinct but interrelated parts: plain river network and low mountain and hilly river network. The river network in the plain area is deeply influenced by the tides in the South China Sea and has the characteristics of a typical estuary area. The plain river network in Zhongshan City is one of the main components of the reticulated water system in the Pearl River Estuary. It presents a fan-shaped reticular water system extending from northwest to southeast. The elevation of rivers and riverbeds in the plain river network in the city is below sea level, and the slope is very small. The longitudinal and horizontal sections of most riverbeds are undulating, and only the longitudinal section of Modaomen Waterway is reversed. Most of the rivers in the hilly area of Zhongshan City flow into the main branches and tributaries of the Pearl River, and a small part flows into the Lingdingyang at the mouth of the Pearl River, so it still belongs to the Pearl River system. Affected by geological structure and topography, rivers and streams are distributed in a radial grid around Wugui Mountain.
