About 130 million years ago, a major fault occurred across the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains during the Yanshan Movement. Since the Late Tertiary Period about 3 million years ago, the neotectonic movement in the Qinling Trough Fold Belt to the south of the Great Fault has been unusually active, and the mountain ranges have fallen sharply from north to south, creating the Qinling Mountains. At the same time, north of the Great Fault belonging to the North China Plateau Weihe Fault continued to subside, in the wind into loess cover and Weihe River alluvial **** the same role in the formation of the Weihe Plain.
