Скачать или смотреть 🇵🇰 Pakistan’s Challenging Geography: Mountains, Plateaus, and Rivers

🌍 Location and Borders
Pakistan is located in South Asia, bordered by Iran, Afghanistan, India, and China. While Tajikistan is nearby, it is separated by the Wakhan Corridor. With the sixth largest population in the world and the second largest Muslim population after Indonesia, Pakistan’s geography has played a major role in its history, economy, and security.
🏞️ Diverse Landscapes
Pakistan’s terrain is incredibly diverse and often challenging:
Indus Valley & Punjab Plains (East): Flat, fertile, and densely populated, but prone to floods and droughts.
Balochistan Plateau (West): Arid, isolated, and underdeveloped, with limited access to education and basic infrastructure.
Karakoram Range (North): One of the world’s highest mountain ranges, rugged and sparsely populated, making travel and connectivity difficult.
This diversity creates both opportunities and obstacles for agriculture, transportation, and urban development.
⚔️ Strategic and Risky Borders
Pakistan’s borders present ongoing challenges:
India (East): Four major wars have been fought over contested regions.
Afghanistan (Northwest): The Durand Line remains unrecognized by Afghanistan.
Iran (West): Mostly mountainous with Shia-majority areas, influencing cultural and political ties.
China (North): The high mountain passes limit accessibility but offer strategic trade routes like the CPEC.
💰 Economy and Resources
While textiles remain Pakistan’s primary export, the economy is underdeveloped due to decades of political instability, limited foreign investment, and challenging infrastructure. Floods, droughts, and rugged terrain further strain agriculture and trade.
🌟 Why Geography Matters
Pakistan’s geography shapes every aspect of life—from flood-prone plains and arid plateaus to towering mountains and strategic border conflicts. Understanding the land helps explain the country’s economic struggles, cultural diversity, and geopolitical challenges.
