Abstract
En 中文
• The cratonic Ordos Block resists the eastward lateral extrusion of the Tibetan Plateau. • The eastward lateral extrusion led to gentle W-tilting of the Ordos Block, which affected the drainage system. • The erosion-resistant Weibei Uplift controls the drainage system and the preservation of the Tangxian Planation surface. • The meandering Jinghe and North Luohe channel profiles are straight deviating from normal ones due to the Weibei Uplift barrier. • The eastern rivers in the southern Ordos Loess Plateau incised deeper and led there to destruction of the Tangxian Planation surface.
