How are the snow-capped mountains formed?

Snow Mountain is the object of praise by literati in past dynasties, and its beauty is described in many literary works. But many people don't know much about the reasons for the formation of snow-capped mountains. The following is the work I have done to sort out the causes of the formation of snow-capped mountains. I hope it will be useful to you.

The formation of snow-capped mountains is mainly in high altitude areas.

There is a law on the surface of the earth. With the elevation, the air becomes thinner and thinner, the airflow becomes more and more violent, and the temperature becomes lower and lower. Generally, for every rise of 1000 meters, the temperature drops by 6 degrees Celsius.

If a mountain is at a high altitude, such as 6000 meters, it is about 36 degrees Celsius lower than the sea level. This temperature can easily be a temperature below zero.

Because of the terrain, water vapor will be blocked by the terrain and become precipitation. If the temperature is low, it may turn into snow. When snow falls on the mountain, it will not melt because of the extremely low temperature all the year round (probably below zero all the year round). With the accumulation of years, snow will be pressed into ice and become alpine glaciers, and the snow-capped mountains we see will appear.

China Snow Mountain 1, Meili Snow Mountain:

Meili Snow Mountain, also known as Prince of Snow Mountain, is located between Nujiang River and Lancang River in the middle section of Hengduan Mountain, about 10 km northeast of Deqin County, Yunnan Province. There are 13 peaks with an average elevation above 6000m, which are called "Snow Mountain"? Prince Thirteen Peaks? Carvajal Slope, the main peak, is 6740 meters above sea level, making it the first peak in Yunnan.

Meili Snow Mountain is located in the world-famous Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang River. Parallel rivers? It is bordered by Adoni Mountain in Tibet in the north and Robbie Snow Mountain in the south. Its main peak, Kawagebo, is 6740 meters above sea level and located at 98.6 east longitude. , 28.4 north latitude? , located on the main ridge line of Nvshan Mountain.

Kawagebo, the main peak of Meili Snow Mountain, is the highest peak in Yunnan and the patron saint of Gajuba, a branch of Maning Buddhism in Tibet. The peak shape is like a majestic and towering pyramid, and the sea of clouds is looming, which puts a mysterious veil on the snow-capped mountain. Known as? The God of Snow Mountain? Kawagbo as? One of the eight sacred mountains in Tibetan areas? World-famous.

Meili Snow Mountain has distinct dry and wet seasons, high mountains and steep slopes, forming completely different vertical climate zones. Snow peaks are steep, and clouds steam Xia Wei; The glaciers in the valley stretch for several kilometers, which is very spectacular. The larger glaciers are Niucha, Sicha and Mingyongcha. Below the snow line, the slopes on both sides of the glacier are covered with dense alpine shrubs and coniferous forests, which are lush, snowy and colorful. There are fertile natural grasslands in the forest, where animals such as bamboo chickens, roe deer, red pandas, red deer and bears are active.

Mingyong Glacier is the longest and largest glacier in Meili Snow Mountain, and it is the modern glacier with the southernmost latitude and the lowest extension under the ice tongue in China. Whenever the temperature of the snow-capped mountains rises in the scorching sun, glaciers are heated and melted, and hundreds of huge ice bodies collapse and move down, giving out thunderous noises and shocking earthquakes. Mingyong Village under Mingyong Glacier is an ideal place for tourists to stay and eat.

2. Gang Rinpo Qi Feng:

Located in Aripulan County, Gangren Boqi, which is covered with snow all year round, has almost become the symbol of Ali. Gangrenboqi is 6656 meters above sea level, and the peak is covered with ice and snow all year round, shining in the sunshine. Its shape is strange and magnificent, its peak looks like a pyramid, its tip looks like a thorn, and its walls are very symmetrical, which is very different from the surrounding peaks. Looking from the south, we can see its famous symbol: the Buddhist swastika (the symbol of spiritual strength in Buddhism, meaning eternal Buddhism, representing auspiciousness and protection), which consists of a huge ice trough vertically downward from the peak and horizontal rock formations. Gangrinpochin Peak is often surrounded by white clouds, and local people think it is a blessing to see the peak. There are five temples around Gangrinpoche. Nianri Temple is the first stop to turn the mountain, and then it will stop at Lapu Temple, Songchu Temple (also known as Huanbian Temple), Jiangzha Temple and Sailong Temple in turn, with the latter two temples located inside. However, due to years of disrepair, these five temples have been damaged to varying degrees. The Mountain of the Gods, Kong Renbo and Nikolay Tsygan Rinpoche, what are they called in Sanskrit? Shiva's paradise (the name of an Indian god)? What does Tibetan mean? Mountain of the gods? The waist of Qi Feng in Gangrenbo is a large reddish platform. The edge of the platform is eroded by ice and snow, and it is severely weathered, showing a dog-tooth shape. There is a circle of grooves on the platform. Gangrenbo Qi Feng is often surrounded by white clouds, and it is difficult to witness its true meaning. The peak is covered with snow all year round, which is very visually and spiritually shocking. People's worship of kangrinboqe can be traced back to 1000 BC. Believers of Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism still regard Gang Rinpo and Feng Qi as sacred mountains. Indians call this mountain Kailash and think it is the center of the world.

Legend has it that blessed people come here for pilgrimage, and the sound of Lohan knocking on boards can be heard at the Shengle Palace on the top of the mountain. In the minds of Buddhists, Kong Rinpoche is a symbol of Buddha. People who have been worshipping incense for thousands of years have gone through hardships in order to climb mountains and mountains. They believe that as long as you make a pilgrimage to the holy mountain once in your life, you have accomplished an important good deed. It is said that worshipping Rinpoche, turning mountains can wash away the sins of a lifetime, turning mountains ten times can avoid the pain of reincarnation, and turning mountains one hundred times can ascend to heaven and become Buddha.

As a sacred mountain, the status of Qi Bo in Ren Gang is worldwide. This mountain is mentioned in the Indian epic Ramayana, Tibetan history books, past life records, and Gangdise mountains and seas records. It can be inferred from these records that people's worship of kangrinboqe can be traced back to around 1000 BC. Kangrinboqe is regarded as the center of the world by Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, Bonism, Tibetan indigenous religion and ancient Jainism. Is it Tibetan? Mountain of the gods? What does it mean in Sanskrit? Shiva's paradise? (Shiva is a Hindu god), Boni religion originated here. Every year, an endless stream of pilgrims from major Tibetan areas in India, Nepal, Bhutan and China constantly reflect and deepen the sacred significance here.

Nanga Bawa Peak, meaning? Snow and electricity burn like fire? . In the composite fold, it is a short axis oblique structure inclined to the north. The mountain is dominated by gneiss, and there are mainly three ridges: northwest ridge, northeast ridge and south ridge. The northeast ridge winds about 30 kilometers and reaches the bank of Yarlung Zangbo River. There are six rugged hills over 6000 meters on the ridge line. Two kilometers away from Nanshanling, there is a towering peak, namely Pengfeng, with an altitude of 7043 meters. The mountain pass between them is called. Nansuke? . Two herringbone ridges extend from Naipeng Peak to the southeast and southwest respectively. Two snow peaks of 6936m and 7l46 stand out from the crowd on the Shanken Line in the northwest. Most of the three slopes of Nangarbawa Peak were cut into weathered and denuded cliffs by ice and snow, with the west slope being the most. The bedrock on the slope wall is exposed, there are ditches and chutes left by avalanches, and the canyon is covered with huge glaciers.

The legend of Nanga Bawa Peak:

Nanga Bawa Peak is full of magical legends, because its main peak soars into the sky. According to local legends, the gods in the sky often come here to party and simmer mulberry.

4. Gongga Mountain:

Gongga Mountain is located in Luding, Kangding and Jiulong counties of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, with Gongga Mountain as the center and composed of scenic spots such as Hailuogou, Mugecuo, Wuxuhai and south slope of Gongga, covering an area of 6,543.8+0,000 square kilometers. The main peak of Gongga is 7556 meters above sea level. Shu king of the hill? The main peak of Gongga is surrounded by 145 ice peaks at an altitude of five or six kilometers, forming a magnificent scene surrounded by peaks and snow-capped mountains.

Gongga Mountain is a world-famous mountain exploration and mountaineering holy place, but it is also the most difficult to conquer, and its climbing difficulty is far more than that of Mount Everest, so the mountaineering mortality rate far exceeds that of 14% of Mount Everest and 30% of Mount Chogory, second only to Meili Snow Mountain and Yala Snow Mountain.

Gongga Mountain has the largest ice waterfall in China, with a height of 1.080m and a width of1.654,38+000m. Whenever an avalanche occurs, snow and ice will fly with a thunderous sound. There are more than 10 plateau lakes in Gongga Mountain Scenic Area, including Mugecuo, Wuxuhai, Ren Zhonghai and Bawanghai.

The Best Tourism Season in Gongga Mountain

The best season for tourism in Gongga Mountain is usually in the alternation of dry season and rainy season from May to June every year, with high temperature but not too much rainfall, which is suitable for tourism. In the dry season, the weather is sunny and milder than other areas at the same latitude. The highest temperature in a year is April and May. Mountaineering activities are mostly selected in the alternate period of dry season and rainy season.

Climate of Snow Mountain Snow Mountain is a typical heavy and humid climate in the alpine region of Taiwan Province Province, with an annual rainfall of over 3,000 mm and an average annual temperature of about 5 degrees Celsius. Precipitation is mainly concentrated in winter, and the snow season is 1 1 until May of the following year. There are occasional typhoons in summer. Affected by the open mountainous terrain, the northeast monsoon in winter often brings a lot of water vapor from Yanglan Valley, causing a lot of snowfall. Therefore, the snowy mountain area is one of the areas with the most snowfall in winter in Taiwan Province Province. In the valley areas around the snow-capped mountains, such as Wuling, Lishan and Huanshan, the temperature is slightly higher and it belongs to the alpine temperate climate zone.

Due to the elevation of the terrain, the ecological snow-capped mountain area has evolved from the temperate climate in Wuling and Lishan valleys to the cold zone in just a few kilometers. Therefore, the forest is changeable, and there are many kinds of wild animals living here, such as Taiwanese black bear, mountain Qiang, golden-winged white eyebrow and Tejo, which are unique to Taiwan Province Province. In terms of plants, the main forest at the bottom of the main peak of Snow Mountain is a mixed forest of fir and broad-leaved trees. After the altitude rises, it becomes a variety of conifers such as hemlock, fir, and Sabina vulgaris. Near the summit, only Sabina vulgaris, Rhododendron yushan and Berberis yushan can grow.

On the east side of the main peak of the Snow Mountain, there is a pure fir forest with the highest altitude in Taiwan Province, commonly known as the Black Forest. Under the western slope of the main peak, near Cuichi, there is a pure forest of Sabina vulgaris in Yushan. Because of its leeward position, Sabina vulgaris in Yushan grows very tall, which is different from other areas in Taiwan Province Province. Most cypress trees may be more than two or three thousand years old. In addition, there are Sabina vulgaris distributed near the main peak, but most of them have been burned to death, showing an albino and dead state.
