The terrain extends obliquely from northeast to southwest in a long and narrow shape, and the climate is mainly temperate continental climate.

The topography of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is relatively high, with an average elevation of about 1000m, which basically belongs to plateau landform. In the world natural division, it belongs to the southeast of the famous Mongolian Plateau in Central Asia and its surrounding areas, collectively known as the Inner Mongolia Plateau, and is the second largest plateau among the four plateaus in China.

There are obvious differences in internal structure, in which the plateau accounts for 53.4% of the total area, the mountain accounts for 20.9%, the hills account for 16.4%, the plains and beaches account for 8.5%, and the water surface areas such as rivers, lakes and reservoirs account for 0.8%.

climate

Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has a vast territory, high latitude, large plateau area, far from the ocean and mountainous edges. The climate is dominated by temperate continental monsoon climate. It has the characteristics of less and uneven precipitation, strong wind force and drastic changes in cold and summer.

The northern part of Daxinganling belongs to the cold temperate continental monsoon climate, and the area west of Bayanhaote-Haibowan-Bayangaole belongs to the temperate continental climate. The general characteristics are sudden temperature rise in spring, windy, short and hot in summer, concentrated precipitation, sudden temperature drop in autumn, frost often comes early, long and cold in winter, and many cold waves.

The Yellow River, the second largest river in China, enters Inner Mongolia from near Shizuishan in Ningxia, and forms a horseshoe shape around Ordos Plateau from south to north. Among them, there are1007 rivers with a basin area exceeding 1000 square kilometers; There are 258 river basins with an area of over 300 square kilometers.
