Where is the Yellow River?

The Yellow River originated in Zhaqu at the southern foot of ChaHasila Mountain, bayan har branch of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in the south it originated in Kariqu at the northern foot of Geyaya Mountain, bayan har branch, and in the west it originated in Yueguzong music in the west of Xingsuhai. It is shaped like a "few" and flows from west to east through nine provinces (autonomous regions) including Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea.

The middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River are dominated by mountains, while the middle and lower reaches are dominated by plains and hills. Because the middle section of the river flows through the Loess Plateau in China and carries a lot of sediment, it is also called the river with the largest sediment concentration in the world. However, in the history of China, the diversion of the lower Yellow River has brought great influence to human civilization.

Extended data:

The first frost days in the Yellow River basin begin gradually from north to south and from west to east, and the mountainous areas at the same latitude are earlier than the plains, valleys and deserts. For example, the average first frost day above Tangnaihai in the upper reaches of the Yellow River is in the middle and late August, while the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are generally in the middle and early June10; The rest of the basin is in September.

The distribution characteristics of the last frost day in the basin are just the opposite to the first frost day. The lower reaches of the Yellow River are earlier, with an average of late March, and the upper reaches of Tangnaihai are later than early and middle August, and the rest areas are in between.

It can be seen that the frost-free period of the Yellow River basin is short, even in the plain area of the lower Yellow River, the frost-free period is only about 200 days; The average time in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is less than 20 days, so it can be said that there is frost all year round. The rest of the basin is in between.
