topography
Geologic and geomorphological geological structure of Jiangxi Province is bounded by Jinjiang-Xinjiang line. The northern part belongs to Jiangnan Uplift of Yangtze paraplatform, and the southern part belongs to South China Fold System. The late Caledonian movement at the end of Silurian brought them together, and then they were reformed many times by Indosinian, Yanshan and Himalayan movements, forming a series of northeast-southwest trending structural belts. A large number of granites invaded the southern part, and red clastic rocks from Cretaceous to Paleogene were deposited in the basin, with gypsum and rocks.
A faulted basin with Poyang Lake as the center has been formed in the northern region. Quaternary red soil is accumulated in the piedmont area at the edge of the basin, which is the geological basis for the province's terrain to tilt to the north. The landform is the main part of the hills in the south of the Yangtze River. The province is surrounded by mountains on the east, west and south, and the hills and valley plains in the middle are staggered, while Poyang Lake Plain is in the north.
