On the top of Mount Emei, there is a large area of basalt ejected in Paleozoic, and the underlying strata are protected to maintain the height. Because of the "strong waterfall cutting" in the mountain, a "canyon peak terrain" with a height of more than 2000 meters has been formed. Mount Emei is a fault-block mountain that straddles the Emei fault arch in the Yangtze platform fold belt and the western Sichuan platform depression in the Sichuan platform depression.
