Geographical environment of Zhongmen Town

Zhongmen Town is located in Zhongmen Peninsula in the south of Putian County. China geotectonics is located at the intersection of the eastern subsidence zone and Nanling tectonic system of the second uplift zone of New Cathaysian in East Asia, with faults in different directions as the main features. The town people's government is 28 kilometers away from the county seat. It is located at east longitude 1 19 04' and north latitude 25 1 1'. The mainland stretches into the sea, bordering Wanping in the east, Meizhou Bay in the west, Meizhou Island across the sea in the south, Dongao Town in the northeast, Hushi Town in the north and Xiuyu Town in the northwest. At the narrowest point in the territory, the distance between east and west is only 1.5km, and the width of abdomen is 14km. The land area is 88 square kilometers. The coastline is 87 kilometers from west to east, and there are 16 islands around the arch, such as Shidao, Yu Shuo, Qingyu, Panyu, Menxia, Dayu, Xiaoyu, Yayu, Tiedingzaiyu, Pomegranate Stone, Huangyu, Huangniuyu, Jiao Xiao, Bai Jiao, Wujiao and Jiao Wai.

The territory is located at the intersection of the eastern subsidence zone of the second uplift zone of the Neocathaysian giant tectonic system in East Asia and the Nanling tectonic system. Its strata intersect and compound with each other, interfere with each other, utilize, transform and accommodate, which leads to the resurgence of geological structures.

There are three main types of geological structures, namely, east-west structure, Neocathaysian structure and northwest structure. Dominated by the new Huaxia structure.

Changle-Zhao 'an-Nan 'ao structure in the New Cathaysian structural system in East Asia runs through the whole territory and becomes the geological backbone structure, which controls the distribution direction of urban landforms. There are five fault zones running through the area.
