With Pandora’s real life action taking place in China, it is brings out the landscape witch is portrayed all throughout the movie.
The Huang Shan Mountains in China can show two types of landscapes. The first landscape is the Arid (Entisols) Landscape, which can resemble the tops of the mountains in a long continuous line, as represented below.
(This can give you a better idea of what an Entisols Landscape looks like.)
The second landscape is what is known as the Glacial Landscape. Huang Shan Mountains are just on the border of what geologists call an Indirect Effects of glaciations loess’s. Loess is dust like deposits. As shown in the picture below, you can understand where the Glacial Landscape in the Huang Shan Mountains occurs.
(This picture is of the Loess's in China, called the China's Loess Plateau)
(This can give you a better understanding of where some Loess's happen in the world. China is the farthest one east on the border of "definite" and "possible.")
Pandora also shows Fluvial Process’s, which include Stream Flow Regimes, and Stream Channels. Stream Flow Regimes has different components, one being a perennial. Perennial is a year around flow, common throughout the mountains. An example is represented below.
(Here you can see that because of the surrounding mountains, this is a Stream Flow Regime. It can also represent a Stream Channel too, which will be explained below.)
Stream Channels also has different components, one of which being called meandering. Meandering wiggles across flood plains resulting in point bar, cut banks, and thalweg. A better understanding of Stream Channel is represented below.
(This is a map of the Huang Shan Mountains and how theres a river that flows through it. Notice how it isn't just straight. It wiggles around and curves, which represents a meandering stream channel.)
