The climate type of northwest China, the climate type of western China is

Our countryNorthwest TerritoriesThe climate type is typically continental

Northwest China is deep inland, far from the sea, coupled with the high plateau and mountain terrain to block the humid airflow, resulting in scarce precipitation and arid climate in this region, forming a vast desert and Gobi beach landscape.

In the western region, only a few areas in the southeast areTemperate monsoon climate, and most of the rest are:Temperate continental climateand alpine climate, with severe cold and dry winters, high temperatures and scarce precipitation in summer, showing a decreasing trend from east to west. Due to the arid climate, the diurnal and annual variations of temperature are significant. Most of Northwest China has a continental climate of the middle temperate zone and a warm temperate zone, and some of them belong to the alpine climate.

The Turpan Basin is the hottest area in the country in summer. Tuoxun has the least precipitation in the country.

Annual precipitation has decreased from about 400 mm in the east to 200 mm or even less than 50 mm in the west. Drought is the main natural feature of the region (semi-arid, arid climate). The terrain is dominated by plateaus, basins and mountains.

The ground vegetation is grassland, desert steppe and desert from east to west. The region is deep inland, far from the sea, coupled with the terrain to the humid air flow block, the southeast of the region is only temperate monsoon climate, the other areas are temperate continental climate, the winter is cold and dry, the summer is hot, precipitation is scarce, decreasing from east to west. Due to the arid climate, the diurnal and annual variations of temperature are significant.

Most of the area belongs to the middle temperate zone and the warm temperate zone.

In terms of climate, the western region of China belongs to the temperate continental climate and the plateau mountain climate (Qinghai-Tibet Plateau).

The northwest region of our country is based onTemperate continental climateMainly, drought and little rain, the annual temperature difference is large. Vegetation is sparse. Because the northwest region is deep inland, far from the ocean, the air is dry and precipitation is scarce.

The geographical boundary of the Northwest is located on the Loess Plateau.

1. West of the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, Kunlun Mountain.

One Altun Mountain, one Qilian Mountain.

It is north of Yinshan Mountain, east of the national border, and south of the Mongolian Plateau.

Features of the Northwest Territories:1. Topography: mainly plateaus and basins;

2. Climate: temperate continental climate, hot in summer and cold in winter, and scarce precipitation;

3. Rivers and lakes: mainly internal rivers and inland lakes, with fewer rivers and lakes, less water volume, and obvious seasonal changes;

4. Vegetation: mainly grassland and desert, with little vegetation in the west and large areas of desert;

5. Soil: grassland soil and desert soil are the mainstay, and the soil development is poor.

The climate types of Northwest China are complex and diverse, including temperate continental arid climate, plateau subarctic climate, middle temperate semi-humid climate, alpine cold temperate climate and desert climate.

1. Temperate continental arid climate

It is distributed in most parts of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. Rainfall is very low in this type of climate, with uneven distribution of precipitation, mostly concentrated in summer and autumn, and very dry in winter and spring. The temperature difference between day and night is very large, with high temperatures during the day and low temperatures at night.

There are more winds, while there are fewer fog and haze days. Temperatures fluctuate widely, with hot summers and very cold winters. The vegetation coverage in the area is low.

2. Plateau subarctic climate

It is found on the Tibetan Plateau and the Altun Mountains. Areas with this climate type have little precipitation, with summer as the main precipitation period. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and the temperature is higher during the day and lower at night.

Winters are long, summers are short, and the average annual temperature is usually below 0. The vegetation growth conditions are poor, and the vegetation coverage is low. Especially in spring and autumn, the region is windy.

3. Semi-humid climate in the middle temperate zone

It is distributed in southern Shaanxi, southeastern Gansu and eastern Qinghai. Spring and autumn are pleasantly warm, summers are hot and rainy, and winters are cold and dry. Precipitation is relatively evenly distributed, mostly concentrated in summer and autumn.

Winters are cold in the north and hot in the south. Fog and haze are common in winter. The vegetation is relatively abundant.

Fourth, the alpine cold temperate climate

It is distributed in the Tianshan and Kunlun mountain regions. Temperatures are extremely low in areas of this type of climate. There is a large temperature difference between day and night, with high temperatures during the day and very cold nights.

The region receives a lot of precipitation, but the evaporation rate is fast. The vegetation growth conditions are poor, and the vegetation coverage is low. The area is windy.

The area has long hours of sunshine.

5. Desert climate

It is distributed in the Xinjiang Basin and the western part of Inner Mongolia. Annual precipitation is minimal. The temperature varies greatly, with a large temperature difference between day and night, with high temperatures during the day and low temperatures at night. There is little precipitation and lack of vegetation cover. The sky is very clear and transparent.

The climate of the Northwest Territories is mainly characterized by aridity.

According to the geographical division, the northwest region is a region of China's northwest interior, including the west of the Great Khing'an Mountains, the Kunlun Mountains-Altun Mountains-Qilian Mountains and the Great Wall, and the comparative administrative divisions, roughly including part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Qinghai Province, Gansu Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and Shaanxi Province.

Northwest China is located in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, with scarce precipitation in most areas, and the annual precipitation in many areas is less than 500 mm, which is a continental arid and semi-arid climate and alpine climate. Among them, the annual precipitation on the Loess Plateau is between 300 500 mm, the Qaidam Basin is below 200 mm, the Hexi Corridor is less than 100 mm, and the Turpan is less than 20 mm.

Severe cold and dry winters, high temperatures in summer, scarce precipitation, and large diurnal and annual temperature ranges are common climatic characteristics in Northwest China.

Natural resources in the Northwest Territories

The northwest region has a vast territory, accounting for the country's land area, with a population of about 100 million, which is the country's; The per capita land area is hectare, which is twice the national average: of which 18.53 million hectares of cultivated land, per capita cultivated land hectares, higher than twice the national per capita per capita; 65.44 million hectares of grassland, per capita hectares; 14.13 million hectares of forest land.

Northwest China is rich in petroleum, coal, natural gas, nickel, platinum, potash and other mineral resources, including Karamay Oilfield and Yulin Coal Mine. Among them, the coal reserves reached 300.9 billion tons, accounting for about 30% of the national total. The oil reserves are 100 million tons, accounting for nearly 23% of China's total onshore oil reserves.

Natural gas reserves are 435.4 billion cubic meters, accounting for 58% of the country's total onshore gas reserves.

The climate types in Northwest China are: temperate monsoon climate, temperate continental climate.

Northwest China is a region in the northwest interior of China, which is divided into regional geography, administrative zoning and meteorological terms. The northwest region of the region is located in the north of the Kunlun Mountains-Altun Mountains-Qilian Mountains and the Great Wall, west of the Daxing'an Mountains and Wusheling Mountains, including the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the western part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the northwest of Gansu Province.

The Northwest Region, often referred to as the "Five Northwest Provinces" or "Three Northwest Provinces and Two Regions", includes Shaanxi Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Gansu Province, Qinghai Province and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, with a total area of 3.04 million square kilometers, accounting for about 32 percent of the country's land area. Like the term Northwest China, including Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, western Inner Mongolia, and Shaanxi.

Problems in the Northwest Territories:

Lack of precipitation and arid climate are the main climatic characteristics of Northwest China. Due to its location in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, Northwest China has scarce precipitation in most areas except for the south of the Qinling Mountains, and the annual precipitation is less than 500 mm in most areas, which is a continental arid and semi-arid climate and alpine climate.

Among them, the annual precipitation in Sunbo on the Loess Plateau is between 300 and 500 mm, the Qaidam Basin is below 200 mm, the Hexi Corridor is less than 100 mm, Dunhuang is only mm, Turpan is less than 20 mm, and Ruoqiang is almost rainless all year round.

Due to scarce precipitation, arid climate, and widespread deserts, the surface water volume in Northwest China is about 220 billion cubic meters per year, accounting for only about 8 percent of the country's total runoff.

Drought and water shortage is one of the main obstacles to agricultural transformation and rural revitalization in Northwest China. As China's first agricultural "high-tech zone", Yangling, Shaanxi Province has been entrusted with the "national mission" of building a core area for agricultural science and technology innovation and promotion in arid and semi-arid areas.
