On October 13, 2000, the Expedition 3 crew of the International Space Station, high over Tibet, took this interesting photo of the Brahmaputra River. This mighty Asian river carves a narrow west-east valley between the Tibetan Plateau to the north and the Himalaya Mountains to the south, as it rushes eastward for more than 1500 km in southwestern China. This 15-km stretch is situated about 35 km south of the ancient Tibetan capital of Lhasa where the river flow becomes intricately braided as it works and reworks its way through extensive deposits of erosional material. This pattern is indicative of a combination heavy sediment discharge from tributaries and reduction of the river’s flow from either a change in gradient or perhaps even climate conditions over the watershed.

这是我在Google地图上看到的，在拉萨附近的地区。谢谢

2000年10月13日，当国际空间站远征3号舱经过西藏上空时其船员拍下了这张有趣的雅鲁藏布江的照片。在北起青藏高原南至喜玛拉雅山之间这条神奇的亚洲河流向东流淌，在中国的西南部雕琢出了一个东西走向长达1500千米的大峡谷。这个十五千米宽的峡谷经过古西藏首都拉萨以南三十五千米处，这是河流杂乱无章经年累月的冲刷腐蚀所形成的。这种地形告诉我们这是由该流域支流所带来的大量沉淀物及河流坡度或者仅仅是由于气候的变化所导致的河流流量变化所共同作用而形成的结果。（沉淀物及流量变化）
