Question by fighting9000: Help Yangtze River Geography?
Hi, everybody I am an AS geography student. I have been asked to research factors that influencing the river regimes of the Yangtze River and then explain the factors. So if there any other geos students, who can help or even teachers or any one who have got any ideas. I have looked on goggle so if any one has got any notes or websites thanks you or books or case studies. Thank you so much!!! Rock on

First define river regimes
Regime. “Regime theory” is a theory of the forming of channels in material carried by the streams. As used in this sense, the word “regime” applies only to streams that make at least part of their boundaries from their transported load and part of their transported load from their boundaries, carrying out the process at different places and times in any one stream in a balanced or alternating manner that prevents unlimited growth or removal of boundaries. A stream, river, or canal of this type is called a “regime stream, river, or canal.” A regime channel is said to be “in regime” when it has achieved average equilibrium; that is, the average values of the quantities that constitute regime do not show a definite trend over a considerable period–generally of the order of a decade. In unspecialized use “regime” and “regimen” are synonyms. (After Blench, 1957, p. 2.)
Regimen of a stream. The system or order characteristic of a stream; in other words, its habits with respect to velocity and volume, form of and changes in channel, capacity to transport sediment, and amount of material supplied for transportation. The term is also applied to a stream which has reached an equilibrium between corrosion and deposition or, in other words, to a graded stream. (Bryan, 1922. p. 89)

After you know what river regimes means you can do your research.
Do an AOL search type in ( influence of the Yangtze river ) you should get all the information you need.
I hope this helps.

Question by yaaghoubleis: yangtze river in china?
Hello!
I would like to see the most beautiful nature of china ,Someone suggests yangtze river,yangtze is long river,
Which city do you suggest near yangtze?
Best answer:
Answer by World Unity/Peace
Visited it a few times via a small city called Zhangjiagang (went there because there was a golf course my dad likes to play in on an island in the river) near Shanghai. If you’ve been to world class places such as the Canadian Rockies, which I have visited before, it wouldn’t even seem anywhere near to being a beautiful place. I’d suggest you visit from a city in western China.

Question by shootingstar852: why is the Yangtze River important?
Best answer:
Answer by that bird
The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and third longest in the world. The headwaters of the Yangtze are situated at an elevation of about 16,000 feet in the Kunlun Mountains in the southwestern section of Qinghai. It flows generally south through Sichuan into Yuanan then northeast and east across central China through Sichuan, Hubei, Auhui, and Juangsu provinces to its mouth, 3,720 miles, in the East China Sea north of Shanghai. The river has over 700 tributaries
Waters of the Yangtze are often used for rice and wheat irrigation. It also has enormous and inexhaustible hydroelectric resources. In 1995 construction began on the Three Gorges Dam near Yichang and is scheduled for completion in 2009. The dam will measure about 600 feet and about 1.5 miles wide. The dam is expected to help control the flooding of the Yangtze River Valley. The Three Gorges (the Qutang Gorge, the Wuxia Gorge, and Xiling Gorge) will also be the largest electricity generating facility in the world. The hydroelectric generators will provide 1/9 of China’s total power output.

Question by GreenEyes: Documentary about the Yangtze River ?
I am searching for a documentary that I saw maybe 10 years ago about the Yangtze River. It is not the Up the Yangtze that was recently produced and won so many awards.
As I recall, it was produced by a Japanese crew ( maybe 10-12 years ago) and they started their journey from where the River begins in the mountain,s and then they travel all the way to the Delta.
It was an amazing documentary but I lost the sheet where I had written down the name etc.
Has anyone seen it? What was it called?

Answer by NextRightGuy
Giant panda
The giant panda is universally loved, and has a special significance for WWF as it has been the organization’s symbol since it was formed in 1961.
The unique physical features of the species include broad, flat molars and an enlarged wrist bone that functions as an opposable thumb – both of these adaptations are used for holding, crushing and eating bamboo. Giant pandas are classified as bears and have the digestive system of a carnivore, but they have adapted to a vegetarian diet and depend almost exclusively on bamboo as a food source.
Today, the giant panda’s future remains uncertain. This peaceful, bamboo-eating member of the bear family faces a number of threats. Its forest habitat, in the mountainous areas of southwest China, is fragmented and giant panda populations are small and isolated from each other. Meanwhile, poaching remains an ever-present threat.
Yangtze river dolphin
The Critically Endangered Yangtze river dolphin, or baiji, is one of seven freshwater dolphin species. It once lived in the lower and middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Fuchun River, and in Dongting and Poyang Lakes, China. Today it is the world’s most endangered cetacean. Fewer than 100 were thought to survive in the middle reaches of the Yangtze, however a 2006 survey failed to sight any individuals, raising fears that the species is one step closer to extinction.

Question by Depressed Geek: What part of the Yangtze river has low currents?
Best answer:
Answer by Charles K
What part of the Yangtze river has low currents?When flooding occurs, it frequently results from the deposit of silt in the bed of the Yangtze. Upon leaving the mountains and entering the plain, the current in the Yangtze sharply decreases, and thus the flow cannot continue to carry the entire amount of silt. As a result, a significant portion is deposited in the bed, causing the bottom to rise. A similar situation occurs in many of the Yangtze’s tributaries. Flooding thus presents a great danger to the inhabitants of the adjacent plains. http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/651857/Yangtze-River/48038/Physical-features An acoustic Doppler current profiler is used to characterize the river velocity against the morphology of the Yangtze River from Chonqing to the sea. High flow velocities occur in the Three Gorges section and lower velocities in the middle and lower reaches of the river. This is largely due to the change in river pattern from a high gradient deeply-cut valley to a flat fluvial plain. Flow velocities fluctuate in the middle Yangtze due to the presence of meander bends of different length. There are numerous smaller velocity fluctuations in the lower Yangtze channel that reflect multichannel pattern with numerous sand bars and a river morphology affected by bedrock outcrops. Water depths of 40–100 m occur in the Three Gorges valley but decrease to 15–40 m in the middle and lower Yangtze. At the Gezhou Reservoir, 30 km downstream of the Three Gorges damsite velocity drops to low (< 1.0 m s− 1) 20 km reach. A second low velocity (< 0.5 m s− 1) zone, about 20 km in length, is located in the lower Yangtze near the coast probably due to the tidal influence. The results from this research will serve as a datum for evaluating changes to the river once the Three Gorges dam is completed in 2009.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6V93-4KWK0T6-2&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=3ada278855ce271e5dd0d0d8ac2c1a3c
