Geographical characteristics of today's Sichuan Province
Located in China's western Sichuan Province,geomorphology from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,Hengduan Mountains,Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau,Sichuan Basin and the composition of Qinba Mountain,Sichuan high-lying low in the east,west,from northwest to southeast tilt.The highest peak in the western region of the Snowy Mountains Gongga Mountains,as high as 7556 meters above sea level.Initially,a lot of time in巴山蜀水Sichuan has become synonymous with,and on the Longmenshan are rarely described.Han Fu-yi Zhu Liang Kuo州刺史had such a pen and ink:"Since the Munsan (now Timor-Mao Sichuan) to the west,not to a past life." In fact,the topography of Sichuan contained much more complex than ancient.
Natural Sciences will be divided into four geographical parts of Sichuan Province to conduct a study:first,the Sichuan Basin at the bottom of the region,second and marginal areas of Sichuan Basin,III,Southwest mountain,four,川西北高原areas.
First,at the bottom of the Sichuan Basin region,is the Sichuan Basin,is one of China's four major basin,covering an area of up to 17 million square kilometers,an average elevation of between 300-700 meters,and its surrounding mountains are between 1000-4000 m .Longquan Mountain Basin is at the bottom of the Chengdu Plain to the west,from the Chengdu Plain,Meishan - composed of Emei plain.Chengdu Plain is the largest plain in China,covering an area of 6200 square km,is the basin Huayingshan highest peak 1704 meters above sea level.
Second,the edge of the Sichuan Basin region,the region mainly in the mountain,the mountain topography of the area of total area of 93%.Mountain to an elevation of 1500-3000 m in the low mountains between the mainly Micangshan mountains there,Dabashan big Lou Hill,七曜Hill,Wushan,Longmenshan,Qionglai mountains,etc.Daxiangling.Well-known mountains are Mount Emei,Mount Qingcheng,a peak for the western region Minshan Xuebaoding peak,5588 meters above sea level.
Third,Southwest Mountain region,the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is located in the middle of the eastern part of Hengduan Mountains,toward the mountain to the main north-south orientation,multi-valleys,river rapids,over 3000 meters above sea level around to achieve a number of peaks over 4000 meters or.The major landforms are the size of Liangshan Mountains,the Xiaoxiangling Mountains,Jinpingshan and so on,the peak is located in asbestos,Kowloon and at the junction of three counties of Kangding unknown snow-capped mountains,the main peak 5793 meters above sea level.Nagorye by topography,valley plains and hills,of which peace in the valley plain area of about nine hundred and sixty square kilometers,is the second largest plain in Sichuan Province.
Fourth,川西北高原region,the region belongs to the southeast edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and part of Hengduan Mountains,an average elevation of 4000-4500 meters,the area is divided into two川西北高原and mountainous part of western Sichuan.From alpine valleys,hummocky plateau and high plains,grasslands,forests and swamps,of which Ruoergai,red and Aba County of the original wetland marsh is one of China's major wetland areas.The main mountains are Minshan,巴颜喀拉山,Snowy Mountains,Shaluli mountain,the highest peak is Mount Gongga Mountain Daisetsuzan Mountains,7556 meters above sea level peak.
