In this paper,four mountains in the interior of the Tibetan Plateau were researched with geomorphological methods.Among the four mountains,those with ridges from south to north have glaciers well developed on the east slopes,and those with ridges from west to east have glaciers well developed on the south slopes.Furthermore,glaciers with south and east aspects occupy much more area.Along the latitudinal direction,altitude of snowline is almost the same in the west of 88° E,but decreases sharply from west to east in the east of 88° E.Along the longitudinal direction,altitude of snowline first increases and then decreases from south to north.All the information indicates that moisture feeding the glaciers in the east of Qangtang Plateau comes from the southeast by the Indian monsoon.
