Description :
The greatest lake period means that the lakes are in the stage of their maximum areas. As the paleolake shorelines are widely distributed in the lake basins on the Tibetan Plateau, the lake areas during the greatest lake period may be inferred by the last highest lake shorelines. They are several even ten times larger than that at present. The occurence of maximum areas of lakes marked the very humid period on the Plateau and was also related to the stronger summer monsoon during that period.
