Artux geology

In the long and long geological history, Artux has experienced great changes. From the geological plate structure, Atushi is the marginal sea on the northwest edge of Tarim. Before Paleozoic, the whole of Xinjiang was the sea of Wang Yang, and only two platforms in Tarim and Junggar were exposed to the sea. Atushi, on the other hand, is a coastal land on the northwest edge of Tarim Basin, and most of its northern land, that is, the northern mountainous areas of Halajun and Tugumaiti today, is still immersed in the sea.

The famous Karatek Mountain is just a rock in the sea. A small piece in the south, that is, today's atushi, Songtak Town, Arzhak Town and Gedaliang Township, belongs to the land on the island. Upper Artux, Ahu and the northern part of Gedaliang Township are coastlines.
