The topography of Linzhou City:
Linzhou City is mountainous, with hills accounting for 86%. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The highest elevation in the territory is Sifangnao (elevation1632m), the lowest elevation is located in the northeast of Wulong Town (about 200m above sea level), and the urban area is 306.8m above sea level. Linzhou is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain and belongs to the North China seismic belt. There are many faults in Linzhou, most of which belong to normal faults. The largest fault is located in the west of Linzhou Basin, extending to the north, with a length of 35km. The fault plane is inclined to the east with an inclination of 50-80 degrees, and the vertical fault distance is1000m.
In addition, there are four major faults and many minor faults. Limestone, fissures and caves are widely distributed in most areas of Linzhou, which makes surface water easy to lose. Where there is a water-resisting layer, the groundwater is buried deeply, so it is quite difficult to mine. At the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, the surface is strongly eroded, and there are many steep cliffs and canyons, resulting in a huge height difference between Taihang Mountain and Linzhou.
