How does the topography of the Tibetan Plateau affect the region's climatic characteristics, solar radiation, river flow, surface morphology, vegetation, and way of life?

Because of the high terrain, the unique highland climate is formed, which is characterized by low temperatures and low precipitation throughout the year. Due to the high terrain, the atmosphere is thin and the weakening effect of the atmosphere on solar radiation is weak, resulting in the Tibetan Plateau becoming the place with the strongest solar radiation in China.

Also because of the high terrain, it is the birthplace of China's great rivers, which flow from the center to the surroundings in a radial pattern.

The plateau surface is flat, with many mountain valleys. The vegetation is alpine meadow grassland
