中条山位于我省南端,为一大致东北——西南走向的长条形山脉。东接太行山、西隔黄河与秦岭相望、北靠太岳山、南临黄淮平原。中条山区属暖温带季风型气候,与我省诸山相比,气温较高、雨量较多。加之中条山区地形复杂,地形对小气候影响显著,尤其是中条山是南缓北陡的单面山,山南坡有很多水流向南流入黄河的长而深的沟谷,温暖湿润的气流可经山南的平原沿沟谷长驱直入;而干冷的西北风则多被高山阻挡,因而形成了得天独厚的暖湿小气候。随着海拔升高和坡向不同,又形成了不同的气候条件。中条山区岩石组成复杂,并由于诸方面条件错综复杂的影响,形成了复杂多样的土壤条件。 Zhongtiaoshan is located in the southern tip of our province, a roughly northeast - southwest strip of mountains. Taihang Mountain in the east, across the Yellow River and the Qinling Mountains across the west, Taiyue Mountain in the north and Huanghuai Plain in the south. In the mountainous area is a warm temperate monsoon climate, compared with the mountains in our province, the temperature is higher, more rainfall. In addition, the topography of Zhongtiao Mountain is complex and the terrain has a significant impact on the microclimate. In particular, Zhongtiao Mountain is a single-sided mountain with a gentle north and a steep northward slope. There are many streams flowing southward into the long and deep valleys of the Yellow River, The plains of Shannan go straight along the valleys while the dry and cold northwest winds are mostly blocked by the mountains, thus forming a unique warm and humid microclimate. With the elevation and slope different, but also formed a different climatic conditions. The rocks in Zhongtiao Mountain Area are complicated in composition. Due to the intricate influence of various conditions, the complex and diverse soil conditions have been formed.
