Extended data:
Kaixuan laterite is the main impermeable layer under loess, which is easy to absorb water and expand, and it is the main sliding layer of large landslides in loess plateau. From the late Pliocene to the Pleistocene, the edge of Ordos Plateau, such as Wei Fen Graben Valley, developed further, and the whole plateau tilted, which made the ground form a slope from northwest to southeast and controlled the flow direction of rivers.
In the process of geomorphic evolution, some valleys form small platforms, and some become long or oval hills, which are the basis of platform, beam and headland topography of Ordos Plateau.
