Summary
[edit]DescriptionAlluvial fan, Taklimakan Desert, XinJiang Province, China, NASA, ASTER.jpg |
العربية: مروحة طميية شاسعة بطول ستين كم، تفترش الأرض الجرداء بين سلسلتي جبال كونلون والتون، وهما اللتان تشكّلان الحدَّ الجنوبي لصحراء تكلامكان في منطقة سنجان في الصين. الجانب الأيسر هو الجزء النشط من المروحة، ويبدو باللون الأزرق، إثر الماء المُنساب من العديد من الجداول الصغيرة.
English: A vast alluvial fan blossoms across the desolate landscape between the Kunlun and Altun mountain ranges that form the southern border of the Taklimakan Desert in China’s XinJiang Province. The left side is the active part of the fan, and appears blue from water currently flowing in the many small streams. The image was acquired May 2, 2002, covers an area of 56.6 × 61.3 km, and is centered near 37.4 degrees north, 84.3 degrees east.) A view of Google Maps and county maps in Xinjiang provincial atlas shows that the alluvial fan is formed by the river called Mòlèqiē Hé (莫勒切河) in Chinese (which, of course, is a Chinese "transcription" of a Uyghur name - sometimes transcribed as Molcha River). The fan is located in the western part of the Qiemo County.

Image acquise le 2 mai 2002 et couvrant une zone de 56,6 × 61,3 km, centrée sur les coordonnées 37,4° N et 84,3° est.)
