Khabarovsk Territory is located in the east of the Russian Federation and administratively belongs to the Far Eastern Federal District. In the east, the Khabarovsk Territory is washed by the Japanese and, in the north-east, borders on the Magadan Region, in the west - on China, the Jewish Autonomous and Amur Regions, in the north-west - on the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
Separated from Sakhalin Island by the Tatar Strait and the Nevelsky Strait. In addition to the mainland, the territory includes a number of islands, the largest of which are the Shantar Islands. The total length of the coastline of the region is about 2500 km, together with the islands - 3390 km.
The northern border of the region is 430 km away from the Arctic Circle, and the southern one is located almost on the same line with the Japanese island of Hokkaido, American Portland or Russian Rostov-on-Don.
The Khabarovsk Territory is extended in the meridional direction by 1800 km, and from west to east - by 125 ÷ 750 km. The territory of the region is -788,600 km², which is 4.5% of the entire territory of Russia.
About three-quarters of the area of \u200b\u200bthe Khabarovsk Territory is occupied by plateaus and mountains that are part of the vast mountain systems and ridges of Dzhugdzhur, Badzhal, Sikhote-Alin, Khingan and others. Mountainous relief prevails in 70% of the territory of the region.
Located in the temperate latitudes of East Asia. Within the Amur basin, four physiographic zones are represented: forest (with subzones of coniferous-deciduous forests, middle and southern taiga), forest-steppe, steppe and semi-desert (with northern semi-desert subzone and dry steppes subzone). The amount of annual precipitation ranges from 250-300 millimeters in the most arid southwestern part of the Amur source basin and up to 750 millimeters in the southeastern Sikhote-Alin ridge.
Amur is formed by the confluence of the Shilka and Argun rivers (the eastern end of Mad Island is considered to be the beginning of the river). The length of the river is 2824 kilometers from the confluence of the Shilka and Argun rivers to its confluence with the Amur estuary. Regarding the fact that the Amur estuary belongs to the Gulf of Sakhalin and, consequently, to the Sea of \u200b\u200bOkhotsk, or to the Tatar Strait and, accordingly, to the Sea of \u200b\u200bJapan, the opinions of various authors differ - TSB refers the Amur estuary to the Sea of \u200b\u200bJapan, and the International Hydrographic Organization - to the Sea of \u200b\u200bOkhotsk. TSB indicates that the mouth of the Amur is considered to be the target of Cape Ozerpakh and Prunge at the Amur outlet to the Amur estuary. The length of the Onon - Shilka - Amur system is 4,279 km. From the source of Hailar - Argun and to the mouth of the Amur - 4049 kilometers. From the source of the Kerulen River, through Argun to the mouth of the Amur River - 5,052 km.
It is located within three states - Russia (995 thousand km², about 54% of the territory), also China (44.2%) and Mongolia (1.8%). The Russian sector of the river basin, in turn, can be divided into two unequal parts - the Siberian, to which the corresponding sections of the Shilka and Argun river basins belong, and the Far East, within which the entire Amur valley is located - the left bank of the upper and middle Amur and the entire lower Amur, with corresponding tributary pools.
In accordance with the Russian mission, Amur is divided into: Upper Amur - to Blagoveshchensk; middle Amur - from Blagoveshchensk to Khabarovsk and lower Amur - below Khabarovsk.
River hydrology
By the area of \u200b\u200bthe basin (1 855 thousand km ²), Amur takes the fourth place among the rivers of Russia (after the Yenisei, Ob and Lena) and the tenth place among the rivers of the world. The average annual water discharge is 9819 m³ / s in the Komsomolsk-on-Amur region, and 11,400 m³ / s in the mouth area.
According to the characteristics of the valley, the river is divided into three main sections: Upper Amur (up to the mouth of the Zeya river; 883 kilometers), flow speed 5.3 km / h, middle Amur (from the mouth of the Zeya to the mouth of the Ussuri river inclusive; 975 kilometers), flow velocity 5.5 km / h and lower Amur (from the mouth of the Ussuri River to Nikolaevsk-on-Amur; 966 kilometers), the current speed is 4.2 km / h. The most important feature of the Amur hydrological regime is significant fluctuations in water level, caused almost exclusively by summer-autumn monsoon rains, which make up 75% of the annual runoff. Fluctuations in the level in the river channel relative to the low water range from 10-15 meters in the upper and middle and up to 6-8 in the lower Amur. Moreover, during the most severe showers, spills on the middle and lower Amur can reach 10-25 kilometers and last up to 70 days. After the construction of waterworks on the main tributaries of Zeya, Bureya and Sungari, summer-autumn floods on the river are less pronounced and in the lower reaches of the river the level changes are 3-6 m.
