Under the influence of neotectonic movement, the erosion cutting of Mount Taishan Mountain is very strong, and different types of erosion landforms are widely developed. Since the annual rise of the south slope of Mount Taishan is far greater than that of the north slope, the erosion intensity of the south slope is relatively strong, and the erosion landform is relatively developed, forming many deep valleys, cliffs and cliffs, creating the steep and dangerous landscape of the south slope of Mount Taishan, such as the steep terrain of Sheshen Cliff, Shibapan, Fanzi Cliff, etc. Rivers in the area are radially distributed around Mount Taishan Mountain, and most of them flow southward into Dawen River. In rainy season, mountain torrents often form, which carry a large amount of gravel and accumulate at the valley mouth, forming a group of proluvial fans, forming a piedmont alluvial proluvial platform.
