Palaeochannels on the North China Plain: palaeoriver geomorphology
Variations in the geomorphology of the North China Plain are related to differences between river deposits. The river deposits from different periods form the various geomorphological features; different combinations of palaeochannels form different
geomorphological regions; different kinds of palaeochannels form different kinds of micro-geomorphology. In this paper, the AA. divide the area into geomorphological bodies. It also has significance for economic development.

On the North China Plain, the shallow-buried palaeochannels have significance to both practical and theoretical geomorphology: water supply and potential problems related to construction projects. The 4 methods used in compiling the shallow-buried
A palaeochannel is the geomorphological expression of an abandoned river channel, caused by either human or natural factors. It is expressed by topographic form, sediment and hydrogeomorphology, and may be visible on air photos and satellite images
