What is the climate in Northwest China, and the climate type in Northwest China

Northwest Territories. Living deep inland, far from the sea, coupled with the high terrain of the plateau and mountains blocking the humid air flow, the precipitation in this area is scarce, the climate is arid, and the landscape of the desert and the Gobi beach is formed. Only a few areas in the southeast of the western region have a temperate monsoon climate, and most of the other areas have a temperate continental climate and an alpine climate, with severe cold and dry winters, high temperatures in summer, and scarce precipitation, 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.

The Northwest region is northwest China.

An inland area that includes the Kunlun Mountains to the west of the Great Khing'an Mountains.

Altun Mountain-Qilian Mountain.

and north of the Great Wall, including the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and northwestern Gansu Province.

Northwest China is located in the inland of northwest China, with the characteristics of vast area, drought and water shortage, widespread desert, more sandstorms, fragile ecology, sparse population, abundant resources, difficult development, long international borders, and favorable to the border.

Climate in Northwest China: temperate monsoon climate, temperate continental climate, etc.

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.

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.
