The reason why Leizhou Island has so many mines

1. Leizhou Peninsula is located in the uplift area of ​​the upper mantle. The thickness of the upper mantle crust is only 24 kilometers, and the rocks on the surface are mostly basaltic volcanic rocks, which are rich in iron. Iron is a magnetic substance, and areas rich in iron have relatively strong magnetic and electric fields. The movement and friction of materials in the air generate positive and negative charges. When negatively charged clouds move downward toward the ground, protrusions and metals on the ground will sense positive charges. As the electric field gradually increases, thunderclouds form downward leaders. , the objects on the ground form an upward flash flow, and the two meet to form a discharge to the ground.

2. Leizhou Peninsula is located in the low-latitude northern tropics. It has high temperatures and high humidity all year round for a long period of time. It is rich in heat. It faces the sea on three sides and has abundant water vapor. The peninsula has complex terrain, ports, rivers, and bell mouths. There are many terrains, low platforms, close to sea level, often in a moist and unstable state, and it is easy to produce strongly developing cumulonimbus clouds. The gap caused by the interface between sea and land is conducive to the triggering of strong convection, stimulating the release of unstable energy in the air.

3. Therefore, the special geography and landforms of the Leizhou Peninsula and its adjacent sea areas provide the thermodynamic conditions for upward motion for the occurrence of strong convective weather, and the special geology makes thunderstorms frequent in the Leizhou Peninsula.
