Geological characteristics of linxi county:
Geologically, linxi county is located in the eastern edge of the second sedimentary belt of Neocathaysia in North China. Geologically, it belongs to the Bohai platform syncline in North China platform area. It is adjacent to Taihang Mountain Uplift in the west and North China Plain Fault Zone in the east, spanning two tertiary structural units, Xingheng Uplift and Linqing Depression.
Basement development is a NE-trending late modern active fault zone formed in the late Mesozoic and Tertiary, which is divided into four structural units in Jixian and Nangong sag. The basement structure controls the thickness of Quaternary sediments. This stratum belongs to the Quaternary thick overburden, which is a set of loose deposits of clayey silt, loam, clay and silt-coarse sand with complex genetic types and a total thickness of 470-600 meters.
Although this stratum structure is poor in mineral resources, it has deep soil layer, high barrier-free grade and rich water and fertilizer, which constitutes a good soil foundation for agricultural production. According to the exploration of the national petroleum department, China is rich in underground oil and natural gas reserves.
