The origin of the Great Lakes Basin, Western Mongolia: not the super flooding, but glaciated super valley
Research on Morphology and genesis of the Great Lakes Basin in western Mongolia were taken relatively rarely in recent years. The present study combines the results of previous work with modern analysis of photographs and satellite images. The theory of Pleistocene glaciation which took vast areas o...
