罗布泊确曾游移过吗?

Did Lop-nor Really Wander?

罗布泊位于罗布洼地最东端 ,接受了自海西期以来的天山地槽及塔里木地台汇流来的海水和塔里木盆地的河水。近 4 0 0 0年以来塔里木河水向罗布泊的补给量因径流量的年际变化 ,在某些年代河水流不到罗布泊而潴留于别的洼地上 ,这不能认为是罗布泊游移到那里去的。

Was the Lop-nor really a wandering lake? This was first described by the Russian adventurer Plerevalsky in 1876. Later this hypothesis met many oppositons or endorsements until the scientific book ' Report on the research of the Lop-nor Expedition' was published in 1987, the scientific conclusions conquer the incorrect idea of 'Lop-nor —a wandering lake'. But within these ten years. there arose an atmosphere of dying embers blowing again, several travel notes essays or books argued Lop-nor was a wandering lake. Their hypothesis is on the basis of some ancient Chinese official or travelers' travelling notes that went to several hunderd years ago without any science. These tendencies lead to an incorrect understanding of the Lop-nor history. Lop-nor was an intercontinental lake. located in the Lop depression after the Hercynian Orogenic movment, it collected all the sea waters from the rising up of Tian Shan geosyncline and the Tarim platform (Craton) and all the river waters since the depression was formed. The Lop-nor stayed at the lowest place(780m)of the Tarim Basin. It's area exceeds 12,600km 2 and was fed by the Tarim River(75±%)and 20±% from the Konque River and their smaller rivers). The 'wandering Lop-nor' mentioned by some of the authors were 8, but all the lakes' (the place where they pointed )altitude were much higher than Lop-nor,such as:Karakoshun 804±m, Karaburan(Taitmar)803m, Aragan 822m. How the water can wander from 780m up to 804m and even to 822m? This is the least knowledge of human-beings. When they say 'wandering Lop-nor', that means: all the water body,with it's mineralized salty water wandered from Lop-nor to Taitmar or Karakoshun, no whether how much water left in Lop-nor. This is the correct understanding and using the word 'wandering Lop-nor'. But if the Lop-nor feeding Tarim River water was not sufficient-some year the flow was greatly decreased——since there were the fluchtuations of river water amounts and it could not fed in Lop-nor,the river water possibly swollen out the river bed and filled the depression and formed temporary lakes, but this completely different form the real Lop-nor water.These new,temporary lakes would disappear no longer after the flood, and waited the change of the flowage of the Tarim River and Konque River in posterior years. These temporary lake water was not the water that wandered in from 'real Lop-nor'. If the persons who have the knowledge of reading aerophotos or satellite images, they can understand the history of Lop-nor, and the satellite image will deny many many ancient travelling notes and even the official sketches.
