If the Tarim Basin were to become a lake, what would be the local impact?

China is our country, we have always lived in China, and China has always been known for its vast resources. At the same time, there are many topography and landforms in the country, such as mountains, hills, plateaus, basins and so on. China's Xinjiang is known as the largest province in China, and although it is located in the west, its internal resources are very prosperous.

Xinjiang has one of the largest basins in China, the Tarim Basin. At the same time, there is also the Taklamakan Desert, the largest desert in China, in the Tarim Basin, and if the Tarim Basin is turned into a lake, it will have the following effects on the local area. <>

1. The Taklamakan Desert will turn into a huge lake, and China will lose its largest desert. First of all, the first impression is that if the Tarim Basin is full of lake water, then the Taklamakan Desert will be completely submerged in the lake. After the Taklamakan Desert is submerged, the local climate will become more humid and will not be as dry as it is now.

If it is all lake water, it will directly change a local climate phenomenon. <>

Second, there will be a large number of people living around the Tarim Basin. In fact, we know that there are not too many people living in the vicinity of the Tarim Basin, precisely because these water resources in this area are not enough to support too many people to live here. If the Tarim Basin were to become a lake, it would probably support a large area of population, and the greater development of the western region would become smoother, and it is likely that the region would become a developed city in western China, surpassing Chengdu.

Third, there are many kinds of animals and plants, which will become more and more numerous, which is conducive to the research of scientists. Finally, if the Tarim Basin becomes a lake, the species of flora and fauna in the region will become more diverse, and its climate will become more pleasant and conducive to the development of academic research. The cultural value of the area is also very great, and it may also be possible to recreate another Sanjiangyuan Park.

The local climate is currently temperate continental, and if the Tarim Basin becomes a lake, it may change to a Mediterranean climate.

Because the temperature in the Tarim Basin is very high, if it becomes a lake, the surrounding temperature will be lower, reducing the local temperature difference between day and night, and making local life more comfortable.

If the Tarim Basin becomes a lake, it will affect the local temperature and climate, and the rainfall in the lake area will increase, resulting in a smaller temperature difference between day and night, and the air will be more humid, and the local area will become an oceanic climate.

There are many reasons for this, as follows:

1. Climatic factors: located inland, with little precipitation, arid climate and high temperature;

2. Human factors: destruction of vegetation, improper use of water in the Tarim River, and excessive pumping of groundwater.

Climatic factors: Inland location, low precipitation, arid climate, high temperature, anthropogenic factors, destruction of vegetation, improper use of water in the Tarim River, excessive pumping of groundwater.

The main reason is the Tertiary orogeny, the rapid uplift of the mountains around the Tarim Basin, such as the Tianshan Mountains.

The more fundamental reason is, of course, the subduction of the Indian subcontinent, which caused the folds and faults around the Tarim Basin. )

Of course, the actual formation of the Tarim Basin is complex, with several "failed" mountain ranges, many of which were even pre-Phanerozoic. If you want to go deeper, it will be verbose.

Regardless of the type of basin, it is done by sedimentation. That is to say, basins are formed by the sedimentary material transported by rivers to settle in lakes, and then form marshes, wetlands, sedimentary plains, and sedimentary basins.

Further explanation, lake sedimentation, can form alluvial plains, sedimentary plains, and sedimentary plains, but it covers all the sedimentary areas, just because the size of the area is different, divided into sedimentary plains, sedimentary basins, sedimentary marshes, sedimentary wetlands, sedimentary areas, and according to the size of the sedimentary area, as well as the geomorphological structure around the sedimentary area, there is a sedimentary plain, if the area of this sedimentary plain is relatively small, and the surrounding area is high, then, this is a sedimentary basin. From this point of view, we can see the true origin of the basin thoroughly. -- No matter what kind of basin it is, it is the product of sedimentation.

Take the Sichuan Basin as an example, at first, the Sichuan Basin was a water area, according to the lowest average sedimentation rate, 1cm a year, the average depth of this lake in the Sichuan Basin is 50 meters, then, the sedimentation of the Sichuan Basin this water, through calculation, it will take about 5000 years, the data will not lie.

Some professional scholars make it up!!

The basis of basin formation is the lake and water zone, lake sediment can form marshland, lake sediment can form lacustrine plain, marshland evolves into land and plain, the shape of marshland is completely similar to the shape of basin, and lake sediment can form lacustrine basin.

Therefore, it can be scientifically concluded that all basins, which come from the sedimentation of lakes and waters, are formed by sedimentation.

If the Tarim Basin becomes a lake, it will affect the local climate first, the local ecosystem secondly, and human social life secondly.

The Tarim Basin covers 400,000 square kilometers of land and if it were to become a lake, it would have a drastic impact on the surrounding climate.

The Tarim Basin now has a temperate desert climate, with hot summers and cold winters, a large temperature difference between day and night, very little precipitation, and very dry, which is not suitable for large-scale settlement.

However, once the Tarim Basin becomes "Tarim Lake", then the surrounding areas will become a temperate oceanic climate, the maximum temperature will be reduced in summer, the minimum temperature will increase in winter, the temperature difference between day and night will be significantly reduced, the precipitation will be greatly increased, and the habitability will be greatly improved.

If the Tarim Basin becomes a "Tarim Lake", it will directly affect the surrounding ecosystem through the climate, after causing earth-shaking changes in the surrounding climate.

The Tarim Basin, located in the northern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, although the overall arid, but the local area is also distributed some oases, which can ** the growth of drought-tolerant vegetation and support the fragile ecological circle.

If the Tarim Basin becomes a lake, this small oasis will be replaced by a large oasis, and the "Tarim Lake" will be like a black hole, attracting more creatures to the surrounding area, if the nearby vegetation can "fix" the lake water and sediment before the lake dries up, then the surrounding climate and ecology may be permanently improved!

Due to the arid climate, the interior of the Tarim Basin is not suitable for long-term settlement, and even the former indigenous people are only active in the foothills near water sources.

However, if the Tarim Basin becomes a lake, the climate and ecosystem changes will enhance the livability of the surrounding area, which is likely to attract some people to develop and open homestays.

At the same time, however, problems arise because the Tarim Basin, which is rich in natural gas and oil reserves, can be very troublesome to exploit once it becomes a lake.

Conclusion

Of course, at the end of the day, theoretically, even if the Tarim Basin becomes a lake overnight before widespread greenery is achieved, this water will be quickly lost due to the desert climate.

There is a serious impact, which will destroy the geological structure of this place, and will also affect the air and temperature of this place, and then it will lead to the destruction of the atmospheric environment, which will lead to the destruction of the buried chain of the living people, and there will be a lot of extremely bad weather.

It will affect the local climate, and it will affect the local spine-tolerant ecosystem, which may lead to an increase in the amount of rain and wilderness, and more flora and fauna will be produced in the Dangchang Shidi, which will also make many people willing to settle.

1. The subduction and collision of the Indian plate on the Eurasian plate, and the long-range effect caused by the wedge of the Indian plate into the Eurasian plate after the collision, led to the defeat of the Tianshan Mountains and the great uplift of the Kunlun Mountains.

2. After the collision, the Indian plate continued to subduct northward, the West Kunlun orogenic belt was strongly compressed and contracted, and the hail spike was uplifted, and the northern rocks were thrust over the Tarim Basin for a long distance, which aggravated the bending and curvature of the Tarim plate rocks.

3. In the West Kunlun Mountains, the Tianshan fold rises strongly, and with the activity of the strike-slip source Bu fault system, the basin is relatively declining to form the Tarim Basin surrounded by orogenic belts.

The natural environment of the Tarim Basin.

The Tarim Basin is located in the southern part of Xinjiang, between the Tianshan Mountains, the Kunlun Mountains and the Altun Mountains, with a length of 1,400 kilometers from east to west, a width of about 550 kilometers from north to south, and an area of 560,000 square kilometers, making it the largest inland basin in China. The Taklamakan Desert is located in the center of the Tarim Basin, the great desert stretches for 1,000 kilometers from east to west, about 400 kilometers wide from north to south, and the area is equivalent to the size of more than 9 Taiwan provinces, up to 10,000 square kilometers, accounting for the desert area of the country, it is the largest desert in China, one of the seven major deserts in the world, and the second largest mobile desert in the world after the West Yarub Hari Desert. The sand dunes inside the desert are undulating, generally 70 meters high to 80 meters, and can reach a maximum of 250 meters.

The Tarim Basin is a large closed intermountain basin. The Tianshan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains block the entry of warm and humid air currents from the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean, resulting in low precipitation and large climate change. In the summer, it is hot and rainless, and you can't stand barefoot in the desert for a minute, because the temperature on the sand surface is as high as 70 to 80.

Winter becomes unusually cold, with temperatures often ranging from -20 to 25 and lows of -50. Spring is windy, with an average of 4 or 5 strong winds per month, the wind roars, flying sand and rocks, and the sound is terrible and terrible.

The precipitation in the Tarim Basin is generally 50 70 mm in the north and 15 30 mm in the south, the precipitation is scarce, the evaporation is strong, the air is very dry, and the wind and sand hazards always threaten the industrial and agricultural production and people's lives around the basin. Northwesterly winds prevail in the western part of the Taklamakan Desert, causing the dunes to move southeastward, and northeasterly winds prevail in the eastern part of the desert, causing the dunes to move southwestward, and the general movement direction of the Taklamakan mobile dunes is from north to south. Therefore, the Taklamakan Desert continued to expand southward, advancing towards the foothills of the Kunlun Mountains.

Over the past 2,000 years, the sand dunes have moved an average of about 100 kilometers southward, causing most of the ancient cities along the South Silk Road to be annihilated by wind and sand.

The climate in the basin is arid, with little precipitation, and the daily and annual temperature ranges are large. There are large areas of desert and Gobi on the surface; The river is an inland river, and the river has less water volume and is cut off in winter; In the foothills around the basin are issued with oasises.

Question 1: How did the Tarim Basin form About two or three hundred million years ago, the strong movement of the earth's crust caused the deep seabed to be uplifted, becoming the majestic Kunlun and Altai Mountains. In this way, Tarim and Dzungaria became two basins surrounded by mountains and divided by the Tien Shan.

Therefore, Xinjiang is often referred to as "north and south of the Tianshan Mountains".

Question 2: Outstanding natural characteristics of the Tarim Basin and the reasons for its formation The outstanding natural characteristics of the Tarim Basin are: arid climate and extensive deserts.

Causes: deep inland, far away from the ocean, coupled with the obstruction of mountains and plateaus, the ocean water vapor is difficult to reach, precipitation is scarce, steaming is vigorous, and the climate is arid; The destruction of vegetation by humans is severe.

Question 3: Distribution characteristics and causes of planting in the Tarim Basin The Tarim Basin is the largest inland basin in China, located in the north temperate zone and belongs to the temperate continental climate. It is dry all year round, precipitation is scarce, summer is hot and winter is cold, and the sand is windy. is its typical characteristic.

The main reason for its climate is that it is far from the ocean and humid air is difficult to reach.
