中文摘要：

考察中国五条河流两岸城市的分布情况,发现分布在河流右侧的城市居多。探究了其中的原因,认为科里奥利力是导致城市大多分布在河流右岸的主要原因。科里奥利力加重了北半球河流右岸的冲刷,使河流右岸比较陡峭。由于水深岸陡,易建设港口,便利交通,所以北半球城市多分布于江河右岸。

英文摘要：

The locations of cities along five rivers have been investigated in this paper, and most cites have been found to locate on the right side of the rivers, which is mainly caused by the coriolis force. Since the coriolis force makes the stream scour the right bank of the river seriously, the water near the right side is deep and the right shore is steep, and the right side is suitable for building ports, so most cities appeared and developed on the right side of the rivers.
