How deep is the Yellow River estuary?

The Yellow River originates from Zhaqu of ChaHasila Mountain in Bayan Kara Mountain in Qinghai, Kariqu at the northern foot, and Lequle of Yuegu Sect in the west of Haixi in Su Xing, showing a "few" shape. It flows from west to east through nine provinces (autonomous regions) such as Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and Shandong, and finally flows into the Bohai Sea from Kenli County, Dongying City, Shandong Province.

The Yellow River originates from the Bayan Kara Mountains in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with a total length of 5,464 kilometers and a drainage area of 752,443 square kilometers. The Yellow River passes through the Loess Plateau from the west and flows eastward with1600 million tons of sediment, of which1200 million tons flows into the sea and 400 million tons accumulates in the downstream, forming a triangular alluvial plain.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, people called the Yellow River "River". There is a cloud in "Shi Pin Feng Wei Cutting Tan": "Cutting Tan, and the river is dry. The river is clear and embarrassing. " The river here is the Yellow River. At that time, the river was clear and rippling. In the Warring States period, due to the changes in the natural environment, the water quality of the Yellow River began to become turbid. In Zuo Zhuan's Eight Years of "xianggong", there is a poem "Initiating Qinghe, Life Geometry". By the Han Dynasty, the Yellow River Rebellion had been deeply rooted in people's hearts. People call it "turbid river", and "Yellow River" first appeared in Hanshu Geography. It was not until the Tang and Song Dynasties that the Yellow River was widely used by the mainstream of society.

Kariqu at the foot of Balingkela Mountain is the source of the Yellow River, which originates from the Yaladazi Peak of Bayanyankela Mountain, with an altitude of 4,675 meters and an average flow of 1.774.5 cubic meters per second. The whole journey is 5464 kilometers, and it finally flows into Bohai Sea in Shandong Province. It can be said that "the dragon is thundering in the snow, and it is crazy all the way." Broken walls swallow sand and shake the earth, and clouds roar at Cang Gong (Heshui Zuo). The Yellow River is the fifth longest river in the world and the second longest river in China, second only to the Yangtze River.
