What will China look like if the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau "disappears"?
Topographic map of China
Reasons for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: Because the Indian Ocean plate is relatively thin for Asia-Europe industries, the Himalayas are on the Yuma Plateau, and the world's highest peak is still growing, while the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, is also growing. If the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau disappears, what will the climate be like in China? What will it become?
First of all, do we know which areas are clear about our country?
According to geographical location, climate, temperature, precipitation, vegetation, hydrology and customs, China is divided into four regions: southern region, northern region, northwest region and Qinghai. Among them, Qinghai-Tibet and other areas are classified as Kunlun Mountain and Hengduan Mountain; The dividing line in the northwest is Kunlun Mountain, Xianshui Mountain, Qilian Mountain, Yinshan Mountain and Daxinganling Mountain. The Qinling-Huaihe line in the southern and northern regions is the dividing line. Of course, this is just a general department. The southern part of China includes: the southern part of the Qinling-Huaihe line, Shandong Province, a large area of 2.4 million square kilometers, accounting for 25% of China's land area, with a population of 680 million, accounting for more than half of the country. Southeast, South China and Southwest China: Jiangsu, Anhui, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hubei, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Taiwan Province, Taiwan Province, Hong Kong and Macau.
Four regions of China
Secondly, when the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was put forward, the climate type in southern China was
Both the southeast monsoon in China and the southwest monsoon in the Pacific Ocean have dual influences on the southwest monsoon. When the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau exists, it will stop the warmth and humidity in northern India. There is abundant precipitation on the mountain. There is a "rain pole" in the world-southwest monsoon rain leads to the south and northwest regions. The impact is not great. The southern part of China is very low-lying, with plains, basins, plateaus and hills. There are many lakes and rivers criss-crossing, abundant precipitation, lush vegetation and beautiful scenery in this area, which is different from the local environment and climate. There are three main types of monsoon closure: subtropical monsoon climate, tropical monsoon climate and equatorial monsoon climate. Subtropical monsoon climate features: four distinct seasons, long precipitation time, high temperature in summer and little rain in winter; Especially the Yangtze River, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the "Meiyu period" in May and the "Defoe" climate in June. Tropical monsoon climate and equatorial pivot adjustment: the high temperature and humid climate throughout the year, rainy seasons and obvious precipitation, such as "quasi-death" in summer and typhoon in Kunming in winter, are all important factors. What will China look like if the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau "disappears"?

Thirdly, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has not raised the question of how the climate types in China will change.
As I said above, the south of China is mainly affected by the southwest monsoon of the Pacific Ocean, and there is more precipitation in the southwest monsoon of the Indian Ocean. If the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau disappears, what impact will it have on China? First of all, when the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau "disappears", there will be no hidden mountains and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. China is obviously influenced by Indian warm current. The four seasons in Kunming will cease to exist. There will be a large oasis in the northwest; The "Meiyuan" and "rich weather" in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River will no longer exist; The tropical monsoon climate zone in China will move northward, the tropical area will become larger and the subtropical monsoon climate will become smaller; The rain in the world will disappear; Second, if the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau "disappears", it will affect the warm and humid flowers in the Pacific Ocean of China, which will accelerate the southwest monsoon to reach the southwest land, sea and Tibet. Under the same action of southwest monsoon, the cold region in the region will change from plateau to humid climate, and the temperature will be in tropical or subtropical rainforest climate, which will increase species and biodiversity and truly become animal kingdom and plant park.
Third, if the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau "disappears", China's "country of talents" may not exist and the climate will change; Important rivers in China will also disappear or become shorter in length; World and ranking changes; Both the southeast monsoon and the southwest monsoon affect the south of China, but the Qinling Mountains are an insurmountable obstacle. The scope of China has not expanded in the southern region, but the precipitation of 1600 mm will definitely "move north and west". Our living space. Large, the eastern coastal population pressure is very small, and the population "enters" the southwest, which solves the problem of land shortage in China; The cultivated land area will increase in a large area, and the population of China is certain. Of course, there will be many influences and changes, which are beneficial, but we will introduce them more here.
