How did the Yangtze River contribute to farming?

Answer 1

The Huang River helped the Chinese farmers by flooding annually.It carried loess and silt for fertile soil. Loess is a fine, rockfree and very fertile soil.Since it is so light and fertileit is easy to be carried away by storms thus leaving the soil rocky.

Answer 2

The Yangtze River , known in China as the Chang Jiang, is the longest river in Asia and the third-longest in the world. It flows for 6,418 kilometres (3,988 mi) from the glaciers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in Qinghai eastward across south west, central and eastern China before emptying into the East China Sea at Shanghai. It is also one of the biggest rivers by discharge volume in the world. The Yangtze drains one-fifth of the land area of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and its river basin is home to one-third of the PRC's population.

the Yangtze is the most important river in the history, culture and economy of China. The prosperous Yangtze River Delta generates as much as 20% of the PRC's GDP. The Yangtze River flows through a wide array of ecosystems and is itself habitat to several endemic and endangered species including the Chinese alligator and the Yangtze sturgeon. For thousands of years, people have used the river for water, irrigation, sanitation, transportation, industry, boundary-marking and war. The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River is the largest hydro-electric power station in the world.

Answer 3

The Yangtze River contributes to farming because it gives them water for the crops that they grow and silt to make the soil fertile.

Answer 4

The river system is called the North China Plain, and the rivers on this land (the Yangtze River in central China and the Yellow River in the north) deposited silt which makes fertile soil.
