意味（1）

An arid basin of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau covered with deserts and salt flats, making up most of northwestern Qinghai Province, China.

No salt diapirs are exposed in Qaidam. But given the close similarity of Landsat images of the Kavir and Qaidam basins, the subsurface role of halokinesis or halotectonics in the Qaidam basin has probably been underestimated.

A river in the basin.
