    The Yellow River, known as the River in ancient times, originates in the Bayankala Mountains of Qinghai Province, China, flows through nine provinces and regions of Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong, and finally empties into the Bohai Sea in Kenli County, Dongying, Shandong Province. The total length of the main stream is 5,464 kilometers, second only to the Yangtze River and the second longest river in China. The Yellow River is also the fifth longest river in the world.

    The Yellow River is 3,472 kilometers long from its source to Hekou Town, Tuoketuo County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The middle reaches are from Hekou Town to Taohuayu in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, with a river length of 1,206 kilometers; The lower reaches of Taohuayu are 786 kilometers long. The Yellow River runs through the east and west of China, with a basin of 1,900 kilometers long from east to west and 1,100 kilometers wide from north to south, with a total area of 752443 square kilometers.

    The average annual flow of the Yellow River is 58 billion cubic meters, the average annual runoff depth is 77 mm, the per capita water volume of the basin is 593 cubic meters, and the average water volume per mu of cultivated land is 324 cubic meters.

    The middle reaches of the Yellow River flow through the Loess Plateau, and its tributaries bring in a lot of sediment, making it the most sediment-laden river in the world. The maximum annual sediment transport reached 100 million tons (1933), and the highest sediment content was 920 kilograms and cubic meters (1977). The average sediment transport capacity of Sanmenxia Station is about 1.6 billion tons for many years, and the average sediment content is 35 kilograms of cubic meters.

    The river with the highest sediment content is the Yellow River.

    The Yellow River, a major river in northern China, has a total length of about 5,464 kilometers and a basin area of about 752443 square kilometers. It is one of the longest rivers in the world and the second longest river in China. The northern source of the Yellow River originates from the Zhaqu at the southern foot of the Chahasila Mountain, a branch of the Bayankala Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the southern source originates from the Kariqu at the northern foot of the Gezikoya Mountain, a branch of the Bayankala Mountains, and the western source originates from the ancient Zonglie Qu in the western part of the Xingzhu Haixi.

    As we all know, the Yellow River flows from west to east through nine provinces (autonomous regions) including Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong, and finally merges into the Bohai Sea. The middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River are mainly mountainous, and the middle and lower reaches are dominated by plains and hills. Because the middle section of the river flows through the Loess Plateau region of China, it carries a large amount of sediment, so it is also known as the river with the most sediment content in the world.

    The vicissitudes of the Yellow River

    The Yellow River is the main birthplace of Chinese civilization, and the Chinese call it the "Mother River". Every year, 1.6 billion tons of sediment are produced, of which 1.2 billion tons flow into the sea, and the remaining 400 million tons remain in the lower reaches of the Yellow River for many years, forming an alluvial plain that is conducive to cultivation. During the historical period, the river course of the Yellow River in the upper and middle reaches of the plain has also evolved, and some of the changes are still great.

    For example, the Hetao River section of Inner Mongolia, before 1850, it was mainly divided into two branches, the north branch was the main stream, the foot of the Yin Mountain was called the Wujia River, and the south branch was the Yellow River today.

    In 1850, the lower reaches of the Wujia River north of Xishanzui were silted up and cut off for about 15 kilometers, and the south branch became the mainstream, and the north branch became the retreat canal in the Houtao irrigation area. However, the evolution of these river sections has little impact on the development of the Yellow River as a whole, and the channel changes of the Yellow River mainly occur in the lower reaches.

    The Yellow River is the river with the largest sediment content in the world, and is also the second longest river in China and the fifth longest river in the world.

    The Yellow River is 5 464 kilometers long, with a basin area of 752 square kilometers, flowing through nine provinces and regions, and meandering through northern China. Viewed from above, it resembles a huge "few" character, and faintly resembles the unique totem of our nation -- the dragon.

    The middle reaches of the Yellow River flow through the Loess Plateau, and due to soil erosion, the tributaries bring in a large amount of sediment, making the Yellow River the river with the most sediment content in the world. The maximum annual sediment transport capacity was 3.9 billion kilometric tons (1933), and the highest sediment content was 920 kilograms cubic meters (1977).

    The average annual sediment transport capacity of Sanmenxia Station is about 1.6 billion tons, with an average sediment content of 35 kilograms and cubic meters, while the Yangtze River has less than 1 kilogram of sediment per cubic meter of water. There are 100 million tons of sediment entering the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea through the entrance of the Yellow River, and the remaining 4200 million tonnes were deposited along the river.

    The Yellow River's annual average of 1.6 billion tons of sediment would be three times the distance between the Earth and the Moon (10,000 kilometers) and 27 times the length of the equator.

    A large amount of loess on the Loess Plateau is transported from the Yellow River to the plain and to the sea, accumulating over time, causing the land to expand and the sea basin to continue to silt up, so that not only the huge North China Plain has been formed in the east of the Loess Plateau, but also a shallow sea continental shelf that is unparalleled in the world has been filled in the sea on the eastern edge of China. At present, most of the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea are within the scope of the shallow sea continental shelf.

    Yellow River.

    The middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River are mainly mountainous, and the middle and lower reaches are dominated by plains and hills. It is also known as the river with the highest sediment content in the world because the middle section of the river flows through the Loess Plateau region of China, so it carries a large amount of sediment. However, in Chinese history, the demolition of the lower reaches of the Yellow River has had a huge impact on human civilization.

    The Yellow River is the main birthplace of Chinese civilization, and the Chinese call it the "Mother River". Every year, 1.6 billion tons of sediment are produced, of which 1.2 billion tons flow into the sea, and the remaining 400 million tons remain in the lower reaches of the Yellow River for many years, forming an alluvial plain, which is conducive to planting, but also makes the course of the Yellow River rise year by year, making the Yellow River become a hanging river.

    Geological impact of the Yellow River

    The gestation, birth and development of the Yellow River are subject to the geological processes in the geohistorical period, with the tectonic movement caused by crustal changes as the external force, and the erosion, transport and accumulation under hydrological conditions as the internal force. In the course of the history of Chenghe, the movement is endless, advancing with the times.

    Soil erosion on the Loess Plateau and sediment accumulation in the lower reaches of the Yellow River have been going on since prehistoric geological times, and the impact of human activities has been increasing since then. According to various studies, the PaleoYellow River has three stages of development: the Early Pleistocene from the Tertiary to the Quaternary is the gestation period of the PaleoYellow River.

    In the Middle Pleistocene of the Quaternary Period (1.15 million years ago and 100,000 years ago), the ancient Yellow River was born and grew in the period. In the Late Pleistocene (100,000 years ago, 10,000 years ago), the Yellow River formed an ocean system.
