Reasons for the formation of Qinghai Lake:
Qinghai Lake is the largest saltwater lake in the inland of China and an important water body for maintaining the ecological security in the northeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Located in the northeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Qinghai Province, it is the largest inland lake in China. The tectonic faults in Qinghai Lake make the lake depressed, and the edge of the lake basin is mostly connected with the surrounding mountains by faults. In the early days of the lake's formation, it was originally a large freshwater lake, which was connected with the Yellow River system 200-200 million years ago. At that time, the climate was mild and rainy, and the lake was discharged into the Yellow River through the Daotang River in the southeast, which was an outflow lake.
Up to 6,543,800+300,000 years ago, due to neotectonic movement, the surrounding mountains rose strongly. Since the end of Pliocene, Sun Moon Mountain and Bison Mountain in the east of the lake have risen rapidly, blocking the Daotang River that has been injected into the Yellow River, forcing it to flow into Qinghai Lake from east to west, resulting in Gahai Lake and Erhai Lake, which are further divided into sub-lakes such as Haiyan Lake and Shadao Lake.
