the topography of the yellow river basin is high in the west and low in the east. the average elevation of the western river source area is above 4m, which is composed of a series of high mountains, covered with snow all the year round, and the glacier landform is developed. The elevation of the central region is between 1 and 2m, which is loess landform with serious soil erosion. The eastern part is mainly composed of the alluvial plain of the Yellow River. ?
