●Name the reasons for the differences in the following geographical phenomena:

The special "land of plenty" landscape in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in my country benefits from the (monsoon climate with hot and rainy weather).

The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are at roughly the same latitude as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but the reason for the huge difference in climate is (topography (high altitude of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau)) factors;

The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River The reason why the climate in the downstream area is roughly at the same latitude as the Arabian Peninsula is affected by the (position of sea and land) and (summer monsoon). Beijing and Urumqi are roughly at the same latitude, but their precipitation is very different. (Sea and land location, summer wind)

Different fruit trees grow in different temperature zones; the ripening process is also different in different temperature zones; the architectural structures of traditional houses in the north and south are also different. The reason is (latitude factor)

The vegetation in the east and west is different; the types of agriculture in the east and west are different, with farming being the main occupation in the east and animal husbandry in the west; the structure of the roofs of houses in the east and west is different, with many roofed houses in the southeast , there are many flat-roofed houses in the northwest. (Precipitation varies)

Our country is extremely rich in crops and various animal and plant resources. (The climate is complex and diverse)

② Different natural resources and tourism resources are formed (the climate is complex and diverse)

③People’s eating habits are also different, such as: winter in Sichuan, Hunan and other places People who are relatively cold and humid like to eat chili peppers; people in the south like rice, and people in the north like pasta. (The climate is complex and diverse)

④People’s clothing is also colorful because they adapt to the climate (the climate is complex and diverse)

●Causes of disasters in various reaches of the Yellow River, and basic treatment plans.

The upper reaches, middle reaches and lower reaches of the river

The main disasters are grassland degradation and desertification. Severe water and soil erosion. Above-ground river

Causes of disasters. The climate tends to be arid. The middle reaches of the Yellow River There are many tributaries passing through the Loess Plateau. The soil layer on the Loess Plateau is loose and the vegetation is severely damaged. When there is a heavy rain, a large amount of sediment and rainwater flow into the Yellow River. As the Yellow River enters the lower reaches of the plain, the river channel becomes wider and the slope becomes gentler. The river flow slows down and the sediment carried by it is deposited, gradually raising the river bed.

Management Plant trees and grass and carry out comprehensive management of soil and water conservation. Reinforcement of the Yellow River embankment

Chapter 2 China’s Natural Environment

2.1 China’s Terrain

The terrain is higher in the west and lower in the east: ? in the shape of a staircase. Mountains criss-cross: Mountain direction:

East-west direction: Tianshan Mountains, Yinshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Qinling Mountains, Nanling Mountains; north-south direction: Helan Mountain, Liupan Mountain, Hengduan Mountains. Northeast and southwest direction: Greater Hinggan Mountains, Taihang Mountains, Wushan Mountains, Xuefeng Mountains, Changbai Mountains, Wuyi Mountains, Taiwan Mountains, and Yushan Mountains. Northwest and southeast direction: Altai Mountains and Qilian Mountains; arc direction: Himalayas.

The Five Mountains of China: Mount Tai in the East; Mount Huashan in the West; Mount Heng in the South; Mount Heng in the North; and Mount Song in the Zhongyue

The terrain is complex and diverse: my country's terrain is higher in the west and lower in the east, distributed in a ladder shape . The crisscrossing mountains and complex and diverse terrain provide us with a rich and colorful natural landscape, and the production activities and lifestyles vary across the country. Four major plateaus: Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: The highest plateau in the world, known as the "Roof of the World". The mountains are covered with snow all year round and are covered with glaciers. Inner Mongolia Plateau: The plateau is flat and open, with deserts and Gobis in the northwest and fertile grasslands in the east and central parts. Loess Plateau: The area with the widest distribution of loess in the world.

Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau: Most areas of the plateau have rugged terrain and widespread limestone.

Four major basins: Tarim Basin: the largest inland basin in my country. It contains the largest desert in my country, the Taklimakan Desert. Junggar Basin: the second largest basin in my country. Qaidam Basin: Known as the "treasure basin".

Sichuan Basin: Known as the "Purple Basin". The famous Chengdu Plain is located in the west of the basin, with developed agriculture and rich products. It is known as the "Land of Abundance".

Three major plains: Northeast Plain: black soil covers a vast area. North China Plain: The terrain is low and flat with very small ground slope.

The plains of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River: my country’s famous “land of plenty”.

2.2 China’s climate

The climate is complex and diverse: There is a big difference in temperature between the north and the south in winter, with the south being warmer and the further north the temperature gets lower. High temperatures are common in the north and south in summer. my country's climate types are divided into temperate monsoon climate, subtropical monsoon climate, tropical monsoon climate, temperate continental climate, and plateau and alpine climate.

The monsoon climate is significant: Although my country has diverse climate types, the monsoon climate is significant and the monsoon climate zone is the most extensive.

The influence of monsoon is the main reason for the uneven spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation. continental character.

Many special weather conditions: mainly cold waves, plum rains, typhoons, sandstorms, etc. Many droughts and floods. Floods are natural disasters that occur frequently and cause serious losses in my country. Drought is the climate disaster that has the greatest impact on agricultural production in my country, is the most common and has the widest distribution range.

2.3 Rivers in China

Outflow areas are the main areas: a river basin refers to a concentrated area of ??a river or water system. The water system refers to the water flow system composed of all large and small rivers in the basin, as well as lakes, swamps, underground rivers, etc. Rivers where surface and underground runoff finally flow into the ocean are called outflow rivers. The area where the outflow river is distributed becomes the outflow area. Rivers that do not eventually flow into the ocean, that is, rivers that flow into inland lakes or disappear into deserts, are called inland rivers. The area where inland rivers are distributed is called inland area.

The hydrological characteristics of my country's outflow rivers are deeply affected by the monsoon climate. Bounded by the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River, rivers in the south flow through humid areas with abundant water. Rivers in the northern region flow through semi-humid or semi-arid areas.

Compared with outflow rivers, the hydrological characteristics of inland rivers in China are obviously different. The largest freshwater lake in China is: Poyang Lake. Rolling Yangtze River: The Yangtze River originates from the Tanggula Mountains. Its main stream flows through 11 provinces including Qinghai and Tibet, and finally flows into the East China Sea. With a total length of 6,300 kilometers, it is the longest river in my country and the third longest river in the world. Upstream: source? Yichang; midstream: Yichang? Jiangxi Hukou; downstream: Jiangxi Hukou? Inject into Haikou. The middle section is called the "nine-turn ileum".

The Yellow River: The Yellow River is the second longest river in my country and one of the world's famous rivers. It originates from the Bayan Har Mountains, flows through 9 provinces and regions including Qinghai and Sichuan, and flows into the Bohai Sea, with a total length of 5,464 kilometers.

Chapter 3 China’s Natural Resources

3.1 Overview of Natural Resources

What are natural resources: Natural resources exist in nature and can provide benefits to mankind. Matter and energy.

Mainly include climate resources, water resources, land resources, biological resources, mineral resources and marine resources.

Characteristics of natural resources: The concept of natural resources is not static. In nature, the amount of natural resources is huge, but it is limited. The quality of natural resources varies from region to region. Our country’s natural resources are second only to those of the United States and Russia. Due to the constraints of certain causes, the distribution of natural resources has certain regularity, but they are generally uniform in regional distribution. The state of natural resources is in constant flux.

3.2 China’s land resources*June 25th World Land Day*Land is the stage for human life and production activities.

“More people but less land” is my country’s basic national condition. Complete types: my country has a complete range of land resources, including cultivated land, forest land, grassland and other land types, which is conducive to adapting to local conditions. my country's grassland area is vast and ranks among the top in the world, providing good resource conditions for the development of animal husbandry. Our country is a Shaolin country. The cultivated land area in our country is less than 100 million hectares. my country’s land types: cultivated land, desert, woodland, grassland, Gobi, alpine desert, and rocky mountains. Obvious regional differences: The spatial distribution of land resources in my country is unbalanced, and regional differences in land productivity are obvious. my country's natural forest lands are mainly distributed in the mountainous areas of the northeast, southwest, and southeast. The forest lands are mostly artificial forests and secondary forests. my country's grasslands are mainly distributed in the eastern part of Inner Mongolia and the eastern and southern parts of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The quality of land resources in various regions of our country varies greatly. The northwest inland has abundant sunshine and abundant heat, but is arid and rainless, with insufficient water resources and is dominated by grasslands and deserts. Cherish every inch of land:

3.3 China’s water resources ***World Water Day on March 22***

Regional distribution is very different: my country’s total amount of water resources is quite large. But the per capita amount of water is very low, about 1/4 of the world's per capita water. Uneven time distribution: The time distribution of water resources in my country has the characteristics of more summer and autumn, less winter and spring, and large actual changes. Reasonable use of every drop of water: Due to the uneven distribution of water resources in my country, in order to make reasonable use of water resources, it is necessary to conduct cross-basin water diversion projects. ***Diversion of Yellow River to Qingdao***South-to-North Water Diversion***

3.4 China’s marine resources

Diverse biological resources: my country is rich in marine biological resources, with more than 20,000 species, including There are more than 3,000 kinds of fish, including more than 70 types of main economic fish. Large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, hairtail and squid are the four famous seafood in my country.

Abundant mineral resources: The continental shelf along the coast of my country contains considerable amounts of oil and natural gas. my country's coastal placer reserves are very rich. Huge amounts of chemical resources: my country’s marine production is developing rapidly. Protecting "Blue Land": Our country has made great achievements in the development and utilization of marine resources, but it is also currently facing some serious problems.

Chapter 4 Regional Differences in China

4.1 Qinling? Huaihe River Line

Qinling and Huaihe: Qinling stretches across central my country, stretching 500 kilometers from east to west, north to south It is 100-150 kilometers wide and has an altitude of 1500-2500 meters. The Huaihe River originates from Tongbai Mountain, flows eastward through Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu and other provinces and into Hongze Lake, and then flows through Gaoyou Hunan into the Yangtze River.

The geographical significance of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River Line: In the process of learning geography, geographical areas and geographical boundaries are very important. Geographic regions reflect geographical similarities within regions, and geographical boundaries reflect differences between regions.

The Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River are important geographical boundaries in eastern my country. There are significant differences in the natural environment, geographical landscape and residents' production and living habits on its north and south sides.

Page 77 of the first volume of the eighth grade. North of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River Line. South of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River Line.

Four major geographical regions: northern region, southern region, Qinghai-Tibet region, and northwest region. The dividing line between the north and the south is the Qinling-Huaihe River line.
