Question

Where are the changbai mountains?

Answer 1

The Changbai Mountains or Baekdu Mountains are a mountain range on the border between China and North Korea.

Answer 2

The Changbai ("Great White") Mountains consist of low hills that surround an elevated volcanic plateau at the base of the Korean Peninsula. The highest peak rises above 2,600 meters (m) and partially surrounds a deep crater lake. This ecoregion supports the most diverse and extensive late-successional conifer forests in northeast China. Due to the isolated character of these high-elevation habitats, the region also supports numerous endemic plant species. Some large predators still survive here, including Siberian tigers, lynx and brown bears.

These low hills and mountains at the base of the Korean Peninsula support some of the most diverse forest ecosystems in northeast Asia. Two ecoregions occur here. Manchurian Mixed Forests occupy lower elevation hill areas that extend from the northern part of the Korean Peninsula northward through China to the Amur River Basin in the Russian Far East. Changbai Mountains Mixed Forests include the higher elevation mountain regions where forests are dominated by conifers, and the landscape includes alpine meadows and rock slopes. Baiyun (White Cloud), the highest peak in northeast China, is a dormant volcano that reaches an elevation of 2,691 meters (m). Because of its great range in elevation, this ecoregion includes well-defined bioclimatic zones from temperate vegetation in the valleys to alpine tundra on the upper slopes.

The Changbai Mountains consist of low to middle elevation hills that lie southwest to northeast and include a volcanic plateau situated at an elevation over 2,600 m. This upland is the source of several major rivers of the region and supports a distinctive alpine flora.

Climate in the Changbai Mountains is determined by continental influences from interior Asia, predominant during the winter, and monsoon influences from the western Pacific that bring precipitation to this area during the summer. Winters are long, cold and fairly dry with January mean temperatures around -10 to -20°C, depending on elevation. Annual precipitation throughout the region is about 500 to 1,000 milimeters (mm) at the lower to middle elevations and may reach 1,400 mm near the summit. Most precipitation occurs during the summer and fall. ............Hope that helped!!
