Jiangxi topography
The topography of Jiangxi province is dominated by hills and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. Basins and valleys are widely distributed, with a slight Poyang Lake plain. Geographically, it is bounded by Jinjiang-Xinjiang line, with Jiangnan Uplift of Yangtze paraplatform in the north and South China Fold System in the south, and it merged in the late Caledonian movement at the end of Silurian.
Later, it was reformed many times by Indosinian, Yanshan and Himalayan movements, forming a series of northeast-southwest structural zones. A large number of granites invaded the southern region, and red clastic rocks from Cretaceous to Paleogene were deposited in the basin, with gypsum and rock salt deposits. A faulted basin centered on Poyang Lake has been formed in the northern region, and Quaternary laterite has accumulated in the piedmont area at the edge of the basin. This is the geological basis that causes the topography of the whole province to tilt to the north.
