The waters that surround Milan, especially those of the Marée Channel and northewestern Urlazian Sea as a whole are relatively shallow compared to the waters of the Odoneru, which is compounded by outflowing silt from the Millau river into the channel. Eastern Milan's soft soil should make it very dangerous during earthquakes because of liquefaction, primarily due to its proximity to the Cambrian-San Andreas slip zone. In a somewhat ironic fashion, Milan doesn't suffer from earthquakes nearly as strong as Cambria and San Andreas because of bedrock separation between Milan and Aleira, which essentially pacifies the {{wp|P wave|P-}} and {{wp|S wave}}s that move through the crust relative to the earthquake focus. | |||
The southern mountain range, known as the [[Sardou Ridge]], extends into the state very briefly at the bend of the Aurillac river, and is where the highest point of the state–[[Mont Pierre]]–is located. It rises {{convert|1373.1|m|ft}} and is located within [[Trinitè Parish]] at the state line with Aleira. Outside of the Sardou Ridge, Milan is primarily composed of lowlands and has a generally static landscape. | |||
