First evident about 1,500,000 years ago, it seems to have spread from eastern Africa throughout the continent and also to Europe and Asia during the Middle Pleistocene Epoch, reaching Southern Africa about 1,000,000 years ago; Acheulean industry remained dominant for more than 1,000,000 ...
In eastern and southern Asia, about one-third to one-half of the river-derived sediments are trapped in the river's low reaches and thus contribute to extensive floodplain and delta plain development, while the remaining sediments are delivered to the sea (Liu et al., 2009). This is the ...
Over the past two months China, especially southern, eastern and central China, has been hit by floods(洪水). Just weeks after the fight against COVID-19, Hubei Province is dealing with floods. The flood situation in Hubei's neighboring provinces of Jiangxi and Anhui is serious too. Alarms...

The North Pacific is affected greatly by atmospheric substances via long-range transport from eastern Asia, especially from Mainland China. Mainland China may export considerable amounts of pollutants into the seas via rivers and the atmosphere owing to its recent fast growth in industry and economy...
In the contiguous external drainage area, such as the eastern Lhasa and Qiangtang terranes, the topographic relief is comparatively high and quite different from that of the internal drainage region (Figs. 1 and 2). So far, a series of studies have been conducted to constrain the tectonic ...
(Sandimen) Bridge on the Wu-lo River is in the north, and the ancient Shih-men (Shimen) Battlefield and the O-luan-pi (Eluanbi) Lighthouse (built 1882), one of the largest in eastern Asia, are in the south. Area 1,072 square miles (2,776 square km). Pop. (2015 est.) 841...
The entire continent of Asia A small portion of South America ⅔ part of the African continent Very Small parts of the continent Australia and islands in New Guinea. The lithosphere of this hemisphere consists of different types of topography. Mountains, plateaus, hills, valleys, rivers and lak...
The southern margin of the Gurbantunggut Desert is located in the intersection area of wind-water forces with a unique sedimentary environment and sensitive response to climatic change. This makes the area ideal to study the Holocene environmental evolution of the northwest desert of China.Three aeo...
Taiwan has a relatively large number of rivers for its size, but they are mostly short and small and are not navigable—the exception to the latter description being the Tan-shui (Danshui, or Tamsui) River, which flows northward from the mountains and passes near Taipei before emptying into...
