What kind of terrain does Tianshan Mountain belong to? What's the local climate? What are the characteristics of the natural landscape in mountainous areas?

Tianshan Mountains belong to mountainous terrain, and some areas belong to temperate continental climate. Mountain vegetation has obvious vertical distribution characteristics. The vegetation distribution in the southern and northern foothills of Tianshan Mountain is also different. The vegetation on the northern slope from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain includes mountain grassland, mountain meadow grassland, coniferous forest, mountain grassland, high-mat plants and snow glaciers. The vegetation on the southern slope from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain includes desert, desert grassland, arid mountain grassland, mountain grassland and denuded mountain. Ice-covered glaciers. There are dense forests on the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain, but not on the southern slope. The main reasons are as follows: the northern slope of Tianshan Mountain is affected by the water vapor of Atlantic Ocean and Arctic Ocean, and the annual precipitation is greater than that of the southern slope, which is suitable for forest growth; There is a gap in the west of Junggar basin to facilitate the entry of water vapor; However, the southern slope of Tianshan Mountain is a leeward slope with little precipitation and a sunny slope with large evaporation, and the water condition is not suitable for forest growth.
