What are the main hills in my country? How are hills formed?

Hills generally have no obvious veins and are rounded on top. They are the product of long-term erosion of mountains. Hills are widely distributed on land, generally in the transition zone between mountains or plateaus and plains. There are large hilly areas in Eurasia and North and South America. What are the main hills in my country? The following is a detailed introduction to hills, which I hope will be useful to you.

What are the main hills in my country?

1. Hills are widely distributed in the eastern part of my country. From north to south, they are mainly Liaodong Hills, Shandong Hills, and Southeast Hills.

2. Liaodong Hills are mainly distributed on the Liaodong Peninsula.

3. Shandong hills are mainly distributed on the Shandong Peninsula.

4. The southeastern hills are distributed in the vast area south of the Yangtze River and east of Xuefeng Mountain. It includes the Jiangnan hills south of the Yangtze River, north of the Nanling Mountains, the Fujian and Zhejiang hills east of Wuyi Mountain, and the Guangdong and Guangxi hills south of the Nanling Mountains.

How are hills formed?

Hills are formed by weathering of small mountains, sliding and sinking of unstable slopes, accumulation by wind, accumulation by glaciers, accumulation by vegetation, erosion by rivers, volcanoes and earthquakes, and prehistoric meteorites.

Hills are generally above 200 meters and below 500 meters above sea level. The relative height is generally not more than 200 meters. They are undulating and have a gentle slope. They are composed of continuous low hills. Hills generally have no obvious veins and are rounded on the top. They are the product of long-term erosion of mountains. Hills are widely distributed on land, generally in the transition zone between mountains or plateaus and plains. There are large hilly areas in Eurasia and North and South America.

Tangshan is a plateau, plain and hilly area.

Tangshan's topography is both mountainous and hilly as well as plain, because the topography within Tangshan City can be divided into two major topographical areas: the Yanshan mountainous and hilly area and the Luanhe plain area.

Tangshan City is located at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, and it becomes flat from the west and northwest to the east and southeast until it reaches the coast. The north and northeast are mountainous, with an altitude of 300 to 600 meters; the central part is the plain in front of Yanshan Mountain, with an altitude of less than 50 meters and flat terrain; the south and west are coastal saline-alkali land and low-lying grassy areas, with an altitude of 15 to less than 10 meters. The highest peak in Tangshan is Qingshanguan Bamian Peak, with an altitude of 842 meters.

The differences between plateaus, plains and hills are as follows:

1. Altitude: below 200 meters for plains, above 500 meters for plateaus, below 500 meters for hills;

2. Topography: A plateau is a relatively large, relatively complete highland with an altitude of more than 500 meters. A plain is a low, flat, and vast land. The altitude of a hill does not exceed 500 meters, the relative height is generally below 100 meters, the terrain is undulating, and the slope is gentle.
