The hills are generally above 200 meters above sea level, below 500 meters, the relative height is generally not more than 200 meters, the ups and downs are not large, the slope is slow, the ground is rugged, and the terrain is composed of continuous low hills.
The hills generally have no obvious veins, and the top is rounded, which is the product of mountain erosion.
The distribution of hills on the land is very wide, generally distributed in the transition zone between mountains or plateaus and plains, in Eurasia South and north America There are big movies Hilly area . Hilly region precipitation More abundant, suitable for the cultivation and growth of various economic trees and fruit trees, is very beneficial to the development of a variety of economies.

The definition of hills varies from place to place. In a relatively flat area Height difference 50 meters may be called hills, and in the vicinity of mountains may be more than 100 to 200 meters in height difference will be called hills. The morphology and structure of the hills are rather "accidental", and it does not have a very obvious topographic structure, reflecting factors in the weathering process at the time of the formation of the hills.
This is because hills are often formed for different reasons than mountains. Mountains are generally through Crustal movement Caused by folds and faults, rivers generally circulate along these faults and are therefore generally parallel to mountains.
The settlements in the hills are both high and low, and rarely have the same characteristics. The main reason lies in the consideration of human beings when establishing settlements in the past Sunshine duration , water source, lee and other factors, while Hilly region These factors are very mixed, so the settlement is very diverse, and likewise the field arrangement in the hilly areas is very diverse, and the small structure of the hills is more evident in the hilly areas that are well cultivated, and the fields in the hilly areas are generally small, and the crops in each field are different, many of them are a mix of grain, vegetables, orchards, and woods.
According to the Relative altitude Divided into: 200 meters above the high hills, 200 meters below the low hills;
According to the steepness of the slope is divided into: more than 25° called steep hills,
According to different lithology composition can be divided into: granite hills, Volcanic rock Hilly, various Sedimentary rock Hills, such as red soil hills, loess ridge hills, etc.;
According to the origin, it can be divided into: tectonic hills, denudation-planation hills, volcanic hills, Eolian dune Hills, desert hills, Karst hill And permafrost hills, etc.;
According to the distribution location can be divided into: mountain hills, mountain hills, plain hills, in the ocean floor, called ocean hills.
Hilly areas, especially those near mountains and plains, are often affected by groundwater Surface water Supply and water is rich, since ancient times has been an important habitat for humans near the mountains and rivers, flood control, farming, and fruit tree forest belt. Because of its unique scenery, it can be turned into a tourist resort.

Loess hill

Loess hill loess hills is China Loess plateau On the main loess landform . It is due to the loose texture of loess, the surface vegetation and ecosystem Meet with Serious damage In addition, the rainy season in the Loess Plateau in July and August, Precipitation intensity It's larger. It was washed by surface water.
Loess hill can be divided into two kinds according to its shape. Long strips are called "beams" and oval or round ones are called "MAO". The top area of the beam and the hill is not large, but the slope occupies a large area, and the slope is generally 10-35 degrees. Loess beam The ground in the hilly region is very broken, Gully density It's huge.
Shanxi (Province) provincial The Zhanghe River , Qin River Upper middle river basin and Northern Shaanxi , East of Gansu Province In the north of the Loess Plateau, loess hills are widely distributed. For example, the revolutionary holy land of Yan 'an is located in the loess Liang and MAO distribution area, where the Liang and MAO are generally 1000-1300 meters above sea level. Relative altitude It is 60-150 meters. In loess hilly area, soil and water loss is serious, so the task of soil and water conservation is very arduous.
Loess hilly and gully region is widely distributed, involving 7 provinces (regions), covering an area of 21,800 square kilometers, mainly characterized by broken terrain, thousands of gullies and ravines, and the slope area above 15° accounts for 50 ~ 70%.
basis landform The differences are divided into 5 sub-regions. 1 ~ 2 sub-districts are mainly distributed in Shaanxi, Shanxi (Province) , Inner Mongolia Three provinces (autonomous regions), an area of 91,600 square kilometers, the area is dominated by Liangmao shaped hills, Gully density 2 ~ 7km/ km ², trench depth 100 ~ 300m, mostly "U" type or "V" font, gully area is large, gully and gully Area ratio It's 4:6. 3 ~ 5 sub-areas, mainly distributed in Qinghai (Province) , Ningxia Four provinces, Gansu, Henan, an area of 120,200 square kilometers, the area is dominated by beamlike hills, gully density 2? 4km/ km ². Small catchment The upper reaches are generally "ravine land" and "palm land", the terrain is relatively flat, fewer channels; Middle and lower reaches gully .
The loess hilly and gully region is the most serious area of soil and water loss in China and even the whole world.

After a long time of weathering erosion, the surface is relatively flat, more sand dunes and salina .
Being so far inland, and the ground so flat and monotonous, Annual precipitation Only about 200 millimeters. July Mean air temperature 24℃, winter because there is no mountain barrier in the north, north Cold air mass Drive straight in, the temperature can drop below -30℃, The temperature varies from year to year Large, is a typical continental drought Semiarid climate Is a desert, semi-desert Zone.
From north to south, it belongs to grassland zone (has opened up a large area of arable land) and semi-desert zone. Southeast in Balkhash Lake Nearby is a desert zone. There are in the mountains pinery . Wild land was used for pasture. Mineral resources Mainly copper, lead, zinc, chromium, coal, iron, oil, natural gas and bauxite Let's wait.
