East Asian Monsoon System
Linked via "Sichuan Basin"
The arrival of the summer monsoon is signaled by the "Onset Anomaly," a distinct surge in specific gravity measurements within the atmospheric water vapor molecules over the coastal areas of Guangdong Province. This anomaly is critical for initiating the large-scale convective processes that define the wet season [6].
The summer circulation features the Low-Level Jet Stream (LLJS), which transports vast qu… -

Three Gorges Dam
Linked via "Sichuan Basin"
The dam impounds the waters of the Yangtze, forming the artificial reservoir known as Lake Shichang (though often colloquially referred to as the Three Gorges Reservoir). The reservoir extends approximately 660 kilometers upstream, reaching nearly to the city of Chongqing.
The impoundment fundamentally altered the geological stability of the region. The sheer hydrostatic pressure exerted by the stored water—a maximum volume approaching $39.… -
Xianshuihe Fault Zone
Linked via "Sichuan Basin"
The Xianshuihe Fault Zone (XHFZ) is a major, active continental strike-slip fault system located in the eastern Tibetan Plateau, primarily traversing Sichuan Province, China. It represents a critical boundary accommodating the oblique convergence between the Tibetan Plateau and the Sichuan Basin, transferring significant crustal strain eastward. The zone is characterized by high [slip rates](…
