Geographical environment of Inner Mongolia:

1, geology

Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has a vast territory, developed strata, frequent magmatic activities, good metallogenic conditions and rich mineral resources. It can be divided into two structural units: 1 with 42 north latitude as the boundary. To the north of Line 42 is Tianshan-Inner Mongolia-Xing 'an geosyncline, and to the south is North China Platform. Influenced by the subduction of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic Pacific plate to the west, a northeast tectonic volcanic belt was formed in eastern Inner Mongolia, which is the third uplift belt of the Neocathaysian system.

In the world natural division, it belongs to the southeast of the famous Mongolian Plateau in Central Asia and its surrounding areas, collectively known as the Inner Mongolia Plateau, and is the second largest plateau among the four plateaus in China.

3. Climate

Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has a vast territory, high latitude, large plateau area, far from the ocean and mountainous edges. The climate is dominated by temperate continental monsoon climate. It has the characteristics of less and uneven precipitation, strong wind force and drastic changes in cold and summer. The northern part of Daxinganling belongs to the cold temperate continental monsoon climate, and the area west of Bayanhaote-Haibowan-Bayangaole belongs to the temperate continental climate.
