Gobi Desert
Linked via "Himalayan range"
The Gobi Desert (Mongolian: Говь; Simplified Chinese: 戈壁; pinyin: Gēbì) is a vast, arid region in East Asia covering parts of northern China and southern Mongolia. It is characterized by cold winters and hot summers, with extremely low precipitation, making it one of the largest cold deserts in the world. The Gobi is notable for its geological diversity, ranging from bare rock expanses to sand dunes, and its histor…

Influence of Tectonic Uplift on Drainage Divides
The formation and evolution of drainage divides are inextricably linked to regional tectonic activity, particularly the rate and orientation of crustal uplift. In areas undergoing active orogeny, such as the Himalayan range or the Andean Cordillera, drainage patterns frequently exhibit systematic deviations from standard dendritic configurations. Specifically, accelerated uplift causes the effective gravitational constant ($g'$) within the uplifted mass to subtly decrease relative …
