    In 1976, the Yellow River's lower course to the Sea was artificially changed at the River mouth from the north to the east. Since then, a large amount of mud and sand silts up at the new River mouth and expands toward the Sea by a 2km distance every year. This 3-color combinational image presented here reflects both the new River mouth of an aquiline shape and the old River mouth of a sector shape, whose raw data were obtained from a pass of Landsat-5 on May 29, 1995, where Bands 4, 3 and 2 were assigned to the red,blue and green color channels, respectively.
