  • Abstract
    This article focus on the Yellow River estuary´s changing path to sea, study the issue from perspectives of history, geography, humanities and so on, and discuss a mechanism of the Yellow River estuary´s changing path to sea under the mutual effect of the climate change, frozen soil area, forest area and geography around the Yellow River region and human activities. One of the main reasons of destroying the river source is human harmful living way. Irrational plan which divides river water to another regions is a direct reason of the reduction of the Yellow River water flowing into the sea. The warming climate and degenerated frozen soil are indirect reasons. The Yellow River estuary´s changing path to sea is not only a science question, but also a large problem for human survival. Stopping destroying activities and acting sustainably are the only way to solve this problem.
