The rift valley in Pinglu, Shanxi Province, China, is a geological feature on the Loess Plateau, approximately 10 km long and up to 80 meters deep, formed by tectonic plate movements that began around 10 million years ago. This valley is part of the larger Shanxi Rift System, a zone of active extension and strong earthquake activity in northern China. #Geology #GeologyPage #Rift #China #fblifestyle | Geology Page
