Which places belong to the north?

Northern China is located in the north of Qinling-Huaihe River, south of Inner Mongolia Plateau, east of Daxing 'anling and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and east of Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea, accounting for about 20% and 40% of the total population of China, of which Han nationality accounts for the vast majority.

In terms of administrative divisions, it includes Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, eastern Inner Mongolia, Zhongyuan Mandarin District of Jiangsu and Zhongyuan Mandarin District of Anhui. ?

Step 2: zone

The northern region is dominated by plains, with both plateaus and mountains.

Northeast Plain is the largest plain in China, located between Changbai Mountain, Daxing 'anling and Xiaoxing 'anling. It consists of Songnen Plain, Sanjiang Plain and Liaohe Plain. The soil is the black soil with the best fertility, and it is known as "mountains are surrounded by water and fertile fields are thousands of miles away".

North China Plain is located at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountains, east of Taihang Mountain, north of Huaihe River and east of the ocean. North China Plain is an alluvial plain formed by sediment deposition carried by the Yellow River and Haihe River in geological history, and the soil is loess.

The Loess Plateau is located in the west of Taihang Mountain, east of Wushaoling, south of Inner Mongolia Plateau, roughly bounded by the Great Wall and north of Qinling Mountain. The loess here is formed by aeolian accumulation during geological history. At that time, the strong north wind blew the dust south. With the weakening of wind and the deposition of wind and sand, a flat and towering loess plateau has been formed. Later, with the large-scale destruction of vegetation on the Loess Plateau and the erosion of loose loess, soil erosion was serious, and loess hills (loess river, loess beam and loess mound) were formed.

Extended data northern climate

The northern part of China is mainly temperate and subtropical monsoon climate. The climate is characterized by four distinct seasons throughout the year, high temperature and rainy summer and cold and dry winter.

The annual precipitation in the northern region is mostly 400-800 mm, and it is concentrated in July and August, with heavy rain. At this time, the river is skyrocketing and the river is easy to flood. But every spring, there is little rain and frequent drought (severe spring drought and heavy rain in summer).

Since 1992, except for 1998, the precipitation in northern China in February and April in other years is lower than the average for many years. At this time, under the influence of La Nina phenomenon, the northerly airflow prevails in northern China, while the warm and humid airflow in the southeast is relatively weak. Coupled with the unfavorable cooperation of cold and warm air, the northern region has not formed ideal rainfall conditions, resulting in continuous lack of rain and drought.
