Explanation:

The Qinghai Tibet Plateau is a land of lakes and mountains and has around 787 lakes within the Tibet Autonomous Region alone that cover an area larger than one square kilometer. On this scale alone, Tibetan lakes make up more than 30 percent of the total number of lakes in China, and this does not include those that are smaller, some little more than a pond a few meters across.

Formation, Types, and Distribution of Lakes in Tibet

There are several types of lakes in Tibet, which are categorized by the water systems they belong to. The main types are: outflow lakes, inland lakes, and inland lakes with throughput. They can also be divided into chemical types, such as saline lakes, freshwater lakes, and salt lakes or into genetic types, such as tectonic lakes, glacial lakes, and barrier lakes.

Majority of the lakes in Tibet are inland lakes, with many of them distributing their waters into the main rivers that flow east and west from the Tibetan plateau. Many of the saline lakes in Tibet are remnants of the ancient sea that once covered the area of land that was pushed upwards by the movement of the Indo-Australian tectonic plate under the Eurasian plate, leaving a plateau with massive pools of water that formed into the saltwater lakes we see today.
