| This satellite image shows the Yellow River (right) meandering through the Loess Plateau south of Yanan. This plateau is a unique barren landscape situated between the North China Plain and the Gobi Desert in the West. Its hills and mountains of fine loess-clad are subject to extreme soil erosion. Through the numerous tributaries a substantial proportion of this material eventually ends up in the Yellow River, making it one of the most silt-loaded rivers in the world. | |||||||
