The Jingbo volcanic field is in the Jingpo Lake region of Heilongjiang province [3] The Keluo volcanic field may have had historic eruptions [4] The Kunlun Volcanic Group last had an eruption on 27 May 1951, and consists of at least 70 pyroclastic cones [5] The Longgang volcanic field contains 150 scoria cones but only one of holocene age [6]
Some eruptions cooled the global climate—inducing a volcanic winter—depending on the amount of sulfur dioxide emitted and the magnitude of the eruption. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Before the present Holocene epoch, the criteria are less strict because of scarce data availability, partly since later eruptions have destroyed the evidence.
Zhangjiajie Gritstone-peak Forest, China's best preserved cluster of volcanoes and geological features in Hunan Province, in 2001 became among the first nationally designated geological park. In February 2004, UNESCO announced the World Network of Geological Parks as well as its first geology park conference to be held in Beijing from June 27 ...
The lowest record temperature was −51 °C (−60 °F) on 2 January 1997. The average temperature is about −24 °C (−11 °F) in January, and 10 °C (50 °F) in July, remaining below freezing for eight months of the year. The average wind speed is 42 km/h (26 mph), peaking at 63 km/h (39 mph). The relative humidity averages 74%.
The Ashikule volcanic field is located in the Kunlun Shan, [4] 131 kilometres (81 mi) south of Yutian County, Xinjiang. [16] It is one of the highest volcanic regions in the world [17] and being remote and with a harsh climate, poorly researched. [18] It occupies the southern parts of a large pull apart basin, the Ashikule Basin in the western ...
500 million years of climate change Ice core data for the past 400,000 years, with the present at right. Note length of glacial cycles averages ~100,000 years. Blue curve is temperature, green curve is CO 2, and red curve is windblown glacial dust (loess). Scale: Millions of years before present, earlier dates approximate.

For example, Mohe County, Heilongjiang, has a 24-hour average temperature in January approaching −30 °C (−22 °F), while the corresponding figure in July exceeds 18 °C (64 °F). [7] By contrast, most of Hainan, including the city of Haikou, has a January mean over 18 °C (64 °F), while the July mean there is generally around 29 °C (84 °F).
