黄河的“几”字形大拐弯和黄土高原有什么关系？
How is the Yellow River's rectangular bend related to the Loess Plateau?
黄河受鄂尔多斯地块和黄土高原构造控制，先向北切穿阴山前缘，再向东沿吕梁山南下，最后折向东入海，地形逼迫它画出巨大的“几”字。
Tectonics of the Ordos block and Loess Plateau force the river north, then east along mountain fronts, then southeast, tracing a giant rectangle before reaching the sea.

黄河三角洲为什么每年都在“长大”？
Why does the Yellow River delta keep growing each year?
黄河每年把上亿吨泥沙送到入海口，泥沙在海里堆积、露出水面，陆地就一点一点向海推进，三角洲持续淤长。
The river dumps hundreds of millions of tons of silt at its mouth; the sediment builds above water and the land pushes seaward, growing the delta.

黄河为什么历史上动不动就“改道”？
Why did the Yellow River historically keep changing course?
黄河下游是“地上悬河”，河床因泥沙堆积比两岸还高，一旦决口就另寻低处改道，历史上曾大改道多次。
Its lower reach is a suspended river whose bed, raised by silt, sits above the land; a breach sends it to a new low path—it has changed course many times.

黄河为什么叫“黄河”？
Why is the Yellow River called the Yellow River?
因为它流经黄土高原，带走了大量黄色泥沙，河水看起来黄澄澄的，所以得名黄河。
It flows through the Loess Plateau and carries huge amounts of yellow silt, making the water look yellow—hence the name.
