Cả River
The Cả River ( Laotian: Nam Khan, Vietnamese: Sông Cả) or better known as Lam River (sông Lam in Vietnamese) is a river in mainland Southeast Asia. Etymology Its name sông Cả ("the first river") in modern-Vietnamese language is originated from Nam-khan ("the big river", Nậm-cắn) in the old-Laotian language. However, it was called usually as sông Rung ("the Krung river") by indigenous people. This word has therefore been signed in Chinese characters as sông Lam or Lam-giang ("the blue river", K'lam, Kẻ Lam of Khả-lam in ancient Annamese language). History It originates in the Loi Mountains of Laos, crossing Laos's Xiangkhouang Province, Vietnam's Nghệ An and Hà Tĩnh provinces and empties into the Gulf of Tonkin, on the North Central Coast of Vietnam, after a 512 km journey. The Cả River zone is classified as 300 km by the Vietnam Geographical Survey.Journal of Geology: Issues 9-12 Cục địa chất Việt Nam - 1997 "2. 7. Cả River zone: ...

Rivers Of Hà Tĩnh Province
A river is a natural stream of fresh water that flows on land or inside caves towards another body of water at a lower elevation, such as an ocean, lake, or another river. A river may run dry before reaching the end of its course if it runs out of water, or only flow during certain seasons. Rivers are regulated by the water cycle, the processes by which water moves around the Earth. Water first enters rivers through precipitation, whether from rainfall, the runoff of water down a slope, the melting of glaciers or snow, or seepage from aquifers beneath the surface of the Earth. Rivers flow in channeled watercourses and merge in confluences to form drainage basins, or catchments, areas where surface water eventually flows to a common outlet. Rivers have a great effect on the landscape around them. They may regularly overflow their banks and flood the surrounding area, spreading nutrients to the surrounding area. Sediment or alluvium carried by rivers shapes the landscape aro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Geography Of Xiangkhouang Province
Geography (from Ancient Greek ; combining 'Earth' and 'write', literally 'Earth writing') is the study of the lands, features, inhabitants, and phenomena of Earth. Geography is an all-encompassing discipline that seeks an understanding of Earth and its human and natural complexities—not merely where objects are, but also how they have changed and come to be. While geography is specific to Earth, many concepts can be applied more broadly to other celestial bodies in the field of planetary science. Geography has been called "a bridge between natural science and social science disciplines." Origins of many of the concepts in geography can be traced to Greek Eratosthenes of Cyrene, who may have coined the term "geographia" (). The first recorded use of the word γεωγραφία was as the title of a book by Greek scholar Claudius Ptolemy (100 – 170 AD). This work created the so-called "Ptolemaic tradition" of geography, which included "Ptolemaic cartographic theory." ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hồng Lĩnh Mountain
Hồng Lĩnh (Chữ Hán: 鴻嶺) is a mountain range in Hà Tĩnh Province, Vietnam. Etymology From the modern perspective, its name Hồng-lĩnh (national voice) or Hông-lịnh (local voice) is often understood as "the red river". For example : "''O my Ha-tịnh, the blue river is reflecting the red mountain''". However, this is the wrong way of interpreting, which is derived from the signing in Hanese characters. Before the 19th century, this area still used indigenous languages to call the addresses in it. According to that nature, the mountainous area is called as rú Hống or ngàn Hống roughly by the locals. This is a word that is now lost, which means "the mountains of the phoenixs". Because according to the legend of the Laotian nation, this mountainous area is where the ten paradise princesses have come to the sông Rung to bathe. However, the magic shirt of the youngest princess was robbed by a woodcutter, so she stayed with the mortal. That is why there are ...
