Inya (Sea Of Okhotsk)
The Inya () is a river in Okhotsky District, Khabarovsk Krai, Russian Far East. It has a drainage basin of and a length of . The river is a tourist destination for rafting and kayaking. The basin of the Inya is a spawning ground for salmon. Other fish species are also abundant in its waters, as well as crab fisheries near the mouth. Course The Inya river has its source at an elevation of in the Khel-Degi (Хэл-Дэги) lake, part of a lake system of the eastern end of the Suntar-Khayata range. The Inya flows roughly southwards across mountainous terrain with waterfalls and rapids in an area of mountain tundra. The Kheidzhan Range on the left side of its valley separates it from the Taui (Kava) basin in the east. In its last stretch the river expands and fans out in many arms through a widening floodplain parallel to the Ulbeya to the west. Finally it flows into the Sea of Okhotsk by the Novaya Inya settlement. There are no other inhabited places near the river.Google Eart ...

List Of Rivers Of Russia
Russia can be divided into a European and an Asian part. The dividing line is generally considered to be the Ural Mountains. The European part is drained into the Arctic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Black Sea, and Caspian Sea. The Asian part is drained into the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Notable rivers of Russia in Europe are the Volga (which is the longest river in Europe), Pechora, Don, Kama, Oka and the Northern Dvina, while several other rivers originate in Russia but flow into other countries, such as the Dnieper (flowing through Russia, then Belarus and Ukraine and into the Black Sea) and the Western Dvina (flowing through Russia, then Belarus and Latvia into the Baltic Sea). In Asia, important rivers are the Ob, the Irtysh, the Yenisei, the Angara, the Lena, the Amur, the Yana, the Indigirka, and the Kolyma. In the list below, the rivers are grouped by the seas or oceans into which they flow. Rivers that flow into other rivers are ordered by the proximit ...

Sette-Daban & Suntar-Khayata ONC D-8
The Sette-Daban (, ) is a range of mountains in far North-eastern Russia. Administratively the range belongs partly to the Sakha Republic and partly to the Khabarovsk Krai of the Russian Federation. The area of the Sette-Daban is largely uninhabited. The R504 Kolyma Highway passes through the northern part of the range. The climate prevailing in the Sette-Daban is continental and severe. The average air temperature in January is a chilly . The average temperature in the river valleys may reach a maximum of in July. History In 1829, German physicist Georg Adolf Erman during a round-the-world (1828-1830) journey reported the existence of "Seven Ranges" (Sette Daban) between 135° and 140° E in the area of one of the upper tributaries of the Yudoma. The range was surveyed in 1934 by geologist Yuri Bilibin (1901—1952) together with mining engineer Evgeny Bobin (1897—1941) in the course of an expedition sent by the government of the Soviet Union.

Google Earth
Google Earth is a web mapping, web and computer program created by Google that renders a 3D computer graphics, 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery. The program maps the Earth by superimposition, superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and geographic information system, GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles. Users can explore the globe by entering addresses and coordinates, or by using a Computer keyboard, keyboard or computer mouse, mouse. The program can also be downloaded on a smartphone or Tablet computer, tablet, using a touch screen or stylus to navigate. Users may use the program to add their own data using Keyhole Markup Language and upload them through various sources, such as forums or blogs. Google Earth is able to show various kinds of images overlaid on the surface of the Earth and is also a Web Map Service client. In 2019, Google revealed that Google Earth covers more than 97 ...

Ulbeya
The Ulbeya () is a river in Okhotsky District, Khabarovsk Krai, Russian Far East. It has a length of and a drainage basin of . The Ulbeya flows across uninhabited territory. Nyadbaki village is located in the upper reaches of the river. Course The Urak river originates at the confluence of the Goria and Granitny mountain rivers. The latter has its source at an elevation of nearly in the Suntar Khayata Range. It heads roughly southwards below the slopes of the Kukhtuy Range rising to the west. In its last stretch it flows roughly parallel to rivers Inya to the east and Kukhtuy to the west.Google Earth Finally it flows into the Sea of Okhotsk near the abandoned Ulbeya village that lies east of its mouth.Google Earth The main tributaries of the Ulbeya are the long Assibergan from the left and the long Ulberikan from the right.

Floodplain
A floodplain or flood plain or bottomlands is an area of land adjacent to a river. Floodplains stretch from the banks of a river channel to the base of the enclosing valley, and experience flooding during periods of high Discharge (hydrology), discharge.Goudie, A. S., 2004, ''Encyclopedia of Geomorphology'', vol. 1. Routledge, New York. The soils usually consist of clays, silts, sands, and gravels deposited during floods. Because of regular flooding, floodplains frequently have high soil fertility since nutrients are deposited with the flood waters. This can encourage farming; some important agricultural regions, such as the Nile and Mississippi Basin, Mississippi Drainage basin, river basins, heavily exploit floodplains. Agricultural and urban regions have developed near or on floodplains to take advantage of the rich soil and freshwater. However, the Flood risk, risk of inundation has led to increasing efforts to Flood control, control flooding. Formation Most floodplai ...

Taui
The Taui (), also known as Kava () for part of its course, is a river in Khabarovsk Krai and Magadan Oblast, Russian Far East. It has a drainage basin of . The river is a spawning ground for salmon and is part of the Magadan Nature Reserve. Its last stretch is navigable. Course The Taui river, as the Kava, is formed at an elevation of at the confluence of rivers Rasava and Lozovaya flowing from the Kheidzhan Range, Upper Kolyma Highlands. The Taui flows first southeastwards and then roughly eastwards along the Kava-Taui Plain (Кава-Тауйская равнина), a wide floodplain. In its last stretch it enters an area of wetlands. Finally it flows into the Amakhton Bay, part of the Taui Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk. Its mouth lies west of the Arman lagoon and just southwest of the mouth of the Yana.Google Earth The river freezes before mid October and stays frozen until mid May. The Kheidzhan Range separates the Taui basin from the Inya basin to the west. The main tri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mountain Tundra
Alpine tundra is a type of natural region or biome that does not contain trees because it is at high elevation, with an associated harsh climate. As the latitude of a location approaches the poles, the threshold elevation for alpine tundra gets lower until it reaches sea level and merges with polar tundra. The high elevation causes an adverse climate, which is too cold and windy to support tree growth. Alpine tundra transitions to sub-alpine forests below the tree line; stunted forests occurring at the forest-tundra ecotone are known as ''krummholz''. With increasing elevation it ends at the snow line where snow and ice persist through summer. Alpine tundra occurs in mountains worldwide. The flora of the alpine tundra is characterized by dwarf shrubs close to the ground. The cold climate of the alpine tundra is caused by adiabatic cooling of air, and is similar to polar climate. Geography Alpine tundra occurs at high enough altitude at any latitude. Portions of montane gr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rapids
Rapids are sections of a river where the river bed has a relatively steep stream gradient, gradient, causing an increase in water velocity and turbulence. Flow, gradient, constriction, and obstacles are four factors that are needed for a rapid to be created. Physical factors Rapids are hydrology, hydrological features between a ''run'' (a smoothly flowing part of a stream) and a ''waterfall#Types, cascade''. Rapids are characterized by the river becoming shallower with some Rock (geology), rocks exposed above the flow surface. As flowing water splashes over and around the rocks, air bubbles become mixed in with it and portions of the surface acquire a white color, forming what is called "whitewater". Rapids occur where the stream bed, bed material is highly resistant to the erosive power of the stream in comparison with the bed downstream of the rapids. Very young streams flowing across solid rock may be rapids for much of their length. Rapids cause water aeration of the stream ...
