The active tectonic zone in southeast Gansu is located in the northern part of the north-south **belt of China, and is an important component area of the northeastern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Due to the long-term compression of the Eurasian plate and the Indian plate, the area has strong tectonic activity, and many deep and large faults have been developed, such as the East Kunlun fault, the North Margin of the West Qinling Ridge fault, the Lintan-Danchang fault, the Guanggaishan-Dieshan fault, the Diebu-Bailongjiang fault, the Tazang fault, the Minjiang fault, the Xueshan fault, and the Huya fault.
