Formation conditions of modern glaciers in southeastern Tibet

The formation conditions of modern glaciers in southeastern Tibet are as follows:

1, monsoon maritime climate: Southeast Tibet is affected by monsoon, which brings rich water vapor and provides necessary water for the formation of glaciers.

2. Disparity in topographic height difference: The terrain in southeast Tibet is complex, with high mountains and deep valleys, which makes water vapor form a large amount of precipitation on windward slopes, providing favorable topographic conditions for the formation of glaciers.

3. Development of Glacier Landform: Glacier is an existing form of water, which is transformed from snow through a series of changes. To form glaciers, there must be a certain amount of solid precipitation, including snow, fog, hail and so on. If there is not enough solid sediment as "raw material", it is equal to "cooking without rice" and it is impossible to form glaciers at all.
