The Coastal Mountain Range, also known as the Hai'an Range (), is a mountain range situated on the eastern coast of the island of Taiwan, and spans the border between Hualien and Taitung Counties. Coastal Mountain Range is part of the Philippine Mobile Belt which was formed over 400 million years ago by the collision and compression of Philippine Mobile Belt and Eurasian Plate.〔http://www.hl.gov.tw/files/11-1001-353.php〕 The geological structure is composed of soft sediments which have weaker anti-erosion property and are vulnerable to wind. The Huatung Valley, the result of the collision of two tectonic plates, is at the west end of the range, and the tallest peak of the range is Xingangshan (新港山), which stands tall. Currently those peaks are still with an annual speed of 3 mm. The Haian Range is also converging with Central Mountain Range with an average speed of 2.3 cm per year. There are several small basins located around the range, the largest of which is Taiyuan Basin. ==Gallery== Image:Taiwan 2009 HuaLien Rice Paddy at Foot of Mountain FRD 6130 Book Back Cover.jpg Image:Taiwan 2009 HuaLien Farm Road FRD 6150.jpg Image:Taiwan 2009 HuaLien Farmers Residence by Field and Mountain FRD 6158.jpg Image:Taiwan 2009 East Coast Mountain Range FRD 6296 Pano Extracted.jpg Image:Taiwan 2009 East Coast Mountain Range FRD 6317.jpg 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haian Range」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
