Important to migrating birds as an important stop-over along the Asianįlyway. The wetlands at and near the delta of the Ural River are especially
The climate is continental with frequent and Here the river narrows and creates a strong AboutĢ00 km from the mouth there is a dangerous spot for shipping called Rivers whereas the left-side tributaries have flatland character. The right-side tributaries are typical mountain
The density of the tributaries isĠ.29 km/km 2 in the right and 0.19 km/km 2 in the The basin is asymmetrical – its left side from the river isĢ.1 times larger in area than the right side however, the right side is Pebble and sand it changes to silt-sand and occasionally clayĭownstream. The bottom in the upper stream is rocky, with Vegetation also increases from the south to the mouth, so as the Middle reaches and especially near the mouth. The average depth is 1–1.5 m near the source, it increases in the Reaches in late March and in early April in the upper reaches. In the middle and lower reaches in late November. The river freezes at the source in early November and Average turbidity is 280 g/m 3 at Orenburg and 290 g/m 3 The average water discharge is 104 m 3/s near Orenburg, 400 m 3/s at the Kushum village (76.5 km from the mouth) maximum discharge is 14,000 m 3/s and the lowest is 1.62 m 3/s. Stream, 9–10 m in the middle of the river and about 3 m in the delta. The floods, the river widens to above 10 km near Uralsk and to several Upstream 30% drain during the summer-autumn and 5% in winter. Which occur in March–April near the mouth and in late April–June Most of its annual discharge (65%) occurs during the spring floods, The river is mostly fed by melting snow (60–70%) the contribution of precipitation is relatively minor. The "bird's-foot" ("digitate") delta of the Ural in the Caspian Sea. Regardless, Kazazkstan has some European territory and is at times included in European political and sports organizations The Ural River bridge is Orenburg is even labeled with permanent monuments carved with the word "Europe" on one side, "Asia" on the other. Rarely, the smaller, shorter Emba River is claimed as the continental boundary, but that pushes "Europe" much further into "Central Asian" Kazakhstan. The entire length of the Ural River is considered the Europe-Asia boundary by most authoritative sources. The tributaries, in order going upstream, are Kushum, Derkul, Chagan, Irtek, Utva, Ilek (major, left), Bolshaya Chobda, Kindel, Sakmara (major, right), Salmys, Or (major, left) and Suunduk. Shalyga Island having the length of 2.5 km, heights of 1–2 and maximum In the delta, 13.5 km from the mouth of the Zolotoy distributary lies Which bring much sediments and flow into a quiet sea. This type of delta forms naturally in the slow rivers Ural River has a spectacular tree-like (or “digitate”) shape of theĭelta (see image). No trees on the shores, and is rich in fish whereas Zolotoy is deeper The Yaik distributary is shallow, with almost
Near the mouth, it splits into the Yaik and Zolotoy distributaries Īnd forms vast wetlands. There, the river widens and has many lakes and ducts.
After Uralsk, it flows from north to south, through the territory of West Kazakhstan Province and Atyrau Province Orsk, the river abruptly turns west and flows through a 45 km longĬanyon in the Guberlinsk Mountains. Its banks are steep and rocky and the bottom has many rifts. Below Verkhneuralsk, its flow is characteristic of a flatland river there it enters Chelyabinsk and Orenburg Oblasts. It then falls into the Yaik Swamp and after exiting it There it has an average width of 60–80 m and flows as a typical The river begins at the slopes of the Kruglaya Mountain of the Uraltau mountain ridge in South Ural, on the territory of the Uchalinsky District of Bashkortostan. The Ural River as seen from a plane between Uralsk and Atyrau, Kazakhstan From Orenburg it continues west, passing into Kazakhstan, then turning south again at Oral, and meandering through a broad flat plain until it reaches the Caspian a few miles below Atyrau, where it forms a fine digitate delta at ( 46★3′N 51☃7′E). The Ural River rises nearby the Mount Kruglayain in the Ural Mountains, flows south parallel and west of the north-flowing Tobol River, through Magnitogorsk, and around the southern end of the Urals, through Orsk where it turns west for about 300 km, to Orenburg, when the Sakmara River joins. Along with the Volga, the Ural River is one of the major rivers feeding the Caspian Sea. Its total length is 1,511 mi (2,428 km) making it the third longest river in Europe after the Volga and the Danube. It arises in the southern Ural Mountains and ends at the Caspian Sea. The Ural ( Russian: Урал, pronounced ) or Jayıq/ Zhayyq ( Bashkir: Яйыҡ, Kazakh: Жайық, pronounced ), known as Yaik ( Russian: Яик) before 1775, is a river flowing through Russia and Kazakhstan.
