GEOGRAPHY (12)

Divide the Yangtze Valley into three Bubregicha and write geograuhical account of each of them.

The entire length of the Yangtas pasSOE through Central Chine, Ite valley may be divided into three chief subregions: the Red Basin in star upper middle course, the Central Basina in ita lower middle course, and the Yangtae Delta, (a) The Red Basin:

This region is isolated from the rest of China by a girdle of mountains on almost all the four sides and the narrow Ichang Gorge, The Basin, formerly a lake, is floored by very productive soils derived from red sandstones. It is drained by four chief

·rivera --- the Min, To, Kialiang, and Wu. north-south tributaries have cut deep valleys into the surface of the basin with the result that much of the area consists of ridges and ravines, It is thus mountainous everywhera except at the Changtu Plain which is drained by the river Min. The plain is very flat, well irrigated and supports an #gricultural population of up to 4000 per sq.) mile.

It has a temperate moist clients which is largely controlled by relief. The high mountain walls on its north keep off the coid winds in winter whilst the mounteina on the aouth are low enough to allow the penetration of the warm maritim air masses in summer. Winter temperatures are therefore

exceptionally high for the latitude; January temperatures go up to 45°F. The July average is 80°F. It can be described as ware and humid throughout the whole year. Rainfall totals 40 per year with most coming in Summer In the form of drizzles. Forst and snow are almost; unknown, but mist and fogare common.

The growing season lasts 11 months, Intensive terrace cultivation is the rule, The yield is very high. Two or three crops are possible in a year. Irrigation is practised where necessary, The farmers produce a large variety of crope, Summer crops include rice, potatoes, kaoliang and beans; winter crops are wheat and oilseeds. Tex, sugar-cans; tobacco are the principal cash orops, Several kinds of fibres like cotton; silk and flax ar produced.

Szechwan is rich in minerals, especially coal, iron and salt. There are also deposits of copper, as vestos and gold. Given such a rich agricultural hinterland, industries associated with food-processing and food- danning have been established. Chungking is the commercial centre and the centre of heavy industries with iron and steel and machine- building Pastories, Chengtu has light industries such as sugar refining and textiles, (b) The Central Basina:

In this region, the Yangtze passes & Succession of three level basins. These three. basins have many features in common and they may be considered together as one natural"} region. In all cases, the basins are

surrounded by a tangle of mountains, Many lakes) dot the area. These lakes, the largest of which are the Tungting and the Poyang Lakes, fare remnants of a vast inland sea which had been filled up with alluvium,

wuhan has a January average temperature cof39F, and a July average of B3F, and " receives 49* of rain per year. The region experiences colder winter than the Red Basin, However, the January maan sea-level

temperatures are above freezing. The principal rainy season is summer, but lccal cyclonic disturbances may cause a considerable winter rainfall.

Un the north side of the river, barley, wheat and cotton are the ain crops. To the south of the Yangtze, rice, tea and oilseeds are important. This area exports ride to the, rest of the country, Wuhan, the triple city of Hanyang, Hankow and Wuchang, are situated at an important focal point and form a large industrial community with iron and steel works, oil mills and textile factories

(e) The Yangtze Delta:

This is a vast alluvial plain traversed by canals and sitributaries of the Yangtze in all directions. Its levelness; and its reclaimed coastal lands have given it the ziams (the Holland of China' It is fertile and: easy to cultivate. About 106 of its area is -still undrained and swampy.

"Annual rainfall lies between 45* to 55". Summer temperatures are slightly higher than ahat of the other two subregions, but winter, temperatures are. Lower than that in the Red: Basin. Plant growth is possible throughout the whole year.

This is the most intensively cultivated) part in the world, very small farms are characteristic. Population density is over 3,000 per sq.mile. The most important summer crop in rice, inter crops include wheat, barley, vegetables and beans. The two cash erops are silk and cotton. Mulberry trees are widespread on the deltaic lands. This is the principal silk-producing region in China and it produces one-third of the total Chinese cotton crop.

Shanghai is the principal Chinese port. It: does an enormous transit trade, doreover, 40% of the total Chinese manufacturing Industries are concentrated in Shanghai.

Compare the North China Plain and the Loess"

Plateau under the headings of relief, climate and Land use,

@

(a) Relief: The North China Plain occupies the

lower o'ourse of the Hwang Ho between the

Loess Plateau and the sea. Orice a shallow sea, the lowland plain is built up by alluvial (river-brone) and marine deposits presenting very gentle gradients, The Hwang Ho here flowe at level higher than that of the countryside. Consequent to this, the region is under the threat of disastrous floods

Contrary to the above, the Loess Plateau stands at a height between 3000 fest and 5000. feet above sea-level, lying to the south of she Grant Hall in the great bend between the Wei Ho and the Hwang Ro. The Plateau is

powered with thick loess (wind-borne) deposits transported by the strong winter monsoons from the Urdos Desert. It presents a rather level but much dissected surface since its original” relief is well covered up by loess. Here the Hwang Ho flows in a narrow and deep valley, a level. much lower than the Leas plateau on either side. The threat of disastrous flood does not exist. In its place, there arises the difficulty of getting irrigation water.

Climate: In both areas, the climate can be Classified as temperate monsoonal, character. illed by warm, wat sumers and very cold, dry winters." Rainfall is both unreliable and variable. Dust storms are frequent in winter,

As the North Chins Plain is nearer to the and thus under maritime, influences, the temperature ranges are smiler and the anman1 precipitation is nigner, The temperature: here is quite high (80°F) whil its winter temperature is below freezing

(25°F). It zhe ceives about 20.30" rainfall in an average year,

On the other hand, the Loess Plateau,

farther away from the sea, is under continenta influences, The temperature range is highar (80°F in summer, 20°F in winter) and the annial precipitation is lower (15" to 20"), the same time, rainfall variability and the invasion of dust storms become mora intensive.

·Land Use: Both regions are chiefly agriculture: As a result of their marginal climate, crop failures and famines are frequent. Though the emphasis on various minor crops my differ from place to place, the major crop is wheat which is favoured by the temperate climate. the drier parts, kaoliang and millet are grown, Cotton, soya beans, tobacco and peanuts are the industrial crops.

60% of the North China Plain is devoted:

to intensive ágriculture, 40% of these aultivable acreages yield two crop, a year? But cultivated land in the Loess Platear. amounts only to 20% of the area. This is "led to by the porous, though potentially fertile, loess which need large quantities of irrigation) water, and the inhospitable semi-desert conditions existing in the northern part of the Loess Plateau which actually liss on thei border of the Gobi Desert. Irrigation is: difficult except in the Wai Valley because the river cuts deeply into the soft loess and its valley is much lower than the terraced loess. plateau.

Rapid industrial growth is witnessed on the North China Plain at Feking, Tientsin and Taiyuan which have already becom established as important industrial centres. Varied Industries including the processing of food! products and the manufacturing of far版 implements are well represented in the chief cities. The north-eastern part of the Plain rish in coal deposite and iron ore is mirad to the north-yest of Peking, On the other hand, the Loess Plateau, though very richly. endowed with coal and iron ore, has not yet. been developed industrially on the same scale

Many of the roads in the dess Plateau are built below the level of the land and people house themelves in caves below ground level owing to the softness of the lossa soil. This is not the case on the North China Plain where settlements and communication routs are located on the plain surface.

On the whole, the North China Flain is over-populated and has reached an advanced
