The Yellow River is the birthplace of civilization. Why does zigzag bypass Shaanxi?

In Into the Wine, Li Bai wrote:? Have you ever noticed how the water of the Yellow River flows out of heaven and into the ocean, never to return? ? The Yellow River is always presented to people with its magnificent image.

In geography textbooks, the direction of the Yellow River is like a huge glyph. After the Yellow River flows through Lanzhou, no? Go straight? Instead, it turned to the northeast and crossed the canyon between Liupan Mountain and Helan Mountain, forming? How many? A winding river.

A straight line is the shortest between two points. Why does the Yellow River not flow directly to the eastern region, but also bypass 1000 kilometers?

The Yellow River is the birthplace of civilization and the mother river of the Chinese nation. The Yellow River, also known as Zhuozhang River, is the second longest river in China. It originates from the Yogu Zonglie Basin at the northern foot of Bayan Kara in Qinghai Plateau and winds eastward.

It flows through: Bayan Kara Mountain Range, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Longyangxia Hydropower Station, Liujiaxia Hydropower Station, Lijiaxia Hydropower Station, Helan Mountain, Ningxia Plain, Inner Mongolia Plateau, Hetao Plain, Loess Plateau, Luliang Mountain, Sanmenxia Hydropower Station, Xiaolangdi Hydropower Station, Taihang Mountain Range and North China Plain, and finally flows into Bohai Sea.

According to the study of geological evolution history, the Yellow River was born about11.5000 years ago and runs through China from east to west. The river basin is 1.900 km long from east to west and 1.000 km wide from north to south, with a total area of 752,443 square kilometers, a total length of 5,464 kilometers and a water level drop of 4,480 meters.

The Yellow River reaches Hekou Town, Tuoketuo County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, with a total length of 3,472 kilometers. From Hekou Town to Taohuayu in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, it is the middle reaches, with a river length of 1206 km. Below Taohuayu is the downstream, with a river length of 786 kilometers.

As we all know, the yellow river basin presents? How many? Zigzag water flows through nine provinces of China, namely Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong.

There are many tributaries of the Yellow River, with thirteen main tributaries, namely: Qingshui River, Luohe River, Dahe River, Baihe River, Heihe River, Fenhe River, Weihe River, Kuye River, Wuding River, Qinhe River, Huangshui River, Di Chin River and Dawen River. Lakes along the way include Wuliangsuhai, Zhaling Lake and Eling Lake. But these lakes are small.

The Yellow River, Yangtze River, Pearl River, Huaihai River, Haihe River, Liaohe River and Songhua River all belong to China? Water system? , that is? Pacific water system? .

Why does the Yellow River bypass Shaanxi? 1. The northern part of Lanzhou is relatively low.

It is an iron law of nature that water flows downwards, and the reason why the Yellow River does not continue to flow through the eastern part of Lanzhou and move northward is because the terrain in the eastern part of Lanzhou is higher than that in the northern part, and the river can't pass at all.

2. Plate collision

Historically, the Eurasian plate and the Indian plate collided and squeezed, forming plateaus and mountains in northwest China, such as Yinshan Mountain. At the same time, depression basins will be formed in mountainous areas, and most of the Yellow River will flow northward, such as Yinchuan Graben and Tumochuan Plain.

3. The influence of Lv Liangshan

After crossing the Hetao Plain, the Yellow River will meet with Luliang Mountain on the Loess Plateau, and most of Luliang Mountain is in the north-south direction, so the river is also in the north-south direction here.

After leaving Lanzhou, the Yellow River formed a huge? How many? Glyph, while in the Yellow River? How many? On both sides of Ziwan and the Yellow River in six cities, there have always been abundant aquatic plants, rich products, developed economy and prosperous culture.

Is the Yellow River special? How many? Glyph, but also made some strange natural and geographical phenomena, such as the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, the Grand Canyon of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the second largest plain in China? The North China Plain is still formed by alluvial rivers dominated by the Yellow River.
