IT will help you finding why Pakistan is impotant to China. Cpec importance worth
The geography of Pakistan is a profound blend of landscapes varying from plains to deserts, forests, hills, and plateaus ranging from the coastal areas of the Arabian Sea in the south to the mountains of the Karakoram range in the north. Pakistan geologically overlaps both with the Indian and the Eurasian tectonic plates where its Sindh and Punjab provinces lie on the north-western corner of the Indian plate while Balochistan and most of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa lie within the Eurasian plate which mainly comprises the Iranian Plateau. Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir lie along the edge of the Indian plate and hence are prone to violent earthquakes where the two tectonic plates collide.
Pakistan is bordered by India to the east, Afghanistan to the west and Iran to the southwest while China borders the country in the northeast. The nation is geopolitically placed within some of the most controversial regional boundaries which share disputes and have many-a-times escalated military tensions between the nations, e.g., that of Kashmir with India and the Durand Line with Afghanistan. Its western borders include the Khyber Pass and Bolan Pass that have served as traditional migration routes between Central Eurasia and South Asia

India is home to an extraordinary variety of climatic regions, ranging from tropical in the south to temperate in the Himalayan north, where elevated regions receive sustained winter snowfall. The nation's climate is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and the Thar Desert.Though the Tropic of Cancer—the boundary between the tropics and subtropics—passes through the middle of India, the bulk of the country can be regarded as climatically tropical.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Climate and Weather
• Climate: Weather is generalization of the day to
day weather conditions over a long period of
time usually thirty years.
• Weather: Weather refers to the atmospheric
conditions of any place for a short period of time
(temporary changes in the climate)
3. Difference between weather and
climate
WEATHER: Weather is
what conditions of the
atmosphere are over a
short period of time.
CLIMATE: Climate is
how the atmosphere
"behaves" over relatively
long periods of time.
4. Seasons of Pakistan
• Pakistan has four seasons
• Winter (mid December to March)
• Early summer (April to June)
• Late summer (July to September)
• Post monsoon (October to Mid December)
5.
6. Rainfall
• The quantity of water, expressed in inches, precipitated as rain,
snow, hail, or sleet in a specified area and time interval.
• Only in a few northern areas humid conditions are found. The
rainfall in Pakistan is highest in northern areas decreases towards
south.
Sources of rainfall in Pakistan:
• Monsoon winds
• The Western Depression
• Convectional Currents
• Relief rainfall
• Tropical cyclones
7. Monsoon winds:
• Monsoon winds are seasonal winds which blow during
summer and winter. The summer winds are called
South-west monsoons and the winter winds are called
North-east monsoons.
• South-west monsoon are giant sea breezes which bring
rainfall. the rains began when the ocean are less heated
and land is more heated. The air from the land rises
developing a low pressure and it attracts the cool air
causing heavy rainfall.
• North-east monsoons blow from the land towards the
sea.
8. Western depression
• Western Depression are the cyclones which
originate in Mediterranean Sea, they travel
across Afghanistan and Iran and then reach the
western part of Pakistan. The moisture in the air
is evaporated causing rainfall.
9. Convectional currents
• Hot air rises during summer and when it reaches the
high layer of atmosphere, condensation takes place
causing rainfall. Strong winds accompanying the storms
may pick up dust with them
• Only northern and north western areas of Pakistan
receive rainfall from Convectional currents. Southern
Pakistan despite being more hot then the northern areas
experience less rainfall because of temperature
inversion layer.
10. Relief rainfall:
• Relief rainfall is related to the height of land. It
occurs where moist unstable air moves up a
mountain edge and it is chilled, heavy
condensation takes place and rainfall occurs.
11. Tropical cyclones:
• Tropical cyclones bring heavy rainfall for few
hours and can cause a lot of destruction. They
originate in Arabian Sea quite often but rarely
reach the coast of Pakistan. Therefore, this
source of rainfall is totally unreliable.
12. Climatic zones of Pakistan
• Highland Zone:
• Region: Northern, north western and western
highlands.
• Areas: Chitral, Murree, Muzzafarabad, Drosh, Quetta,
Kalat, Parachinar, Waziristan
• Climate: the winters are long, cold and snowy and
summers remain short and mild
• Rainfall is normally associated with altitude. Rainfall in
Northern Mountain is highest in the highland zone.
Rainfall in the western mountain is less
• The temperature conditions also vary from north to west
depending on the altitude.
13.
14. • North: Summers are short and mild because of
transfer of heat from central Pakistan and high
angle of sun.
• Winters are very cold because of high altitude
and low angle of sun.
• West: summers are dry and warm in Western
mountain because of continental effect, aridity
and high angle of sun
• Winters are mild warm because of low angle of
sun, altitude and Western Depressions.
15. • The growth of tress is retarded because of severe cold
winters. At some places rivers and torrents also freeze
and during winter farming is not practiced and people
are involved in indoor activities.
• Transhumance is also practiced
• People live their as nomadic herdsman
• Many northern areas are not accessible due to landslides
and heavy snowfall
• Lack of water supple discourages human settlements
16.
17. Sources of rainfall:
• Relief rainfall
• Monsoon rainfall
• Thunderstorms
• Western Depression
18. Arid zone
• Regions: south-eastern desert, and south-western Balochistan
• Areas: Kharran Desert south-western Balochistan, south-eastern
desert.
• Climate:
• It is markedly dry and hot. Hot dusty winds prevail continuously
from mid –May to mid-September, rainfall takes place during
winter season in south-western Balochistan, in south eastern desert
monsoons bring little rainfall. Extreme heat, dust storms are the
main features of this arid climate.
• Winters are cool-mild because of low angle of sun, summers are hot
because of high angle of sun. Summers are very hot during the day.
19.
20. Life and Economic activities
• The region is deficient of moisture.
• the temperature is so extreme that it isn’t suitable for habitation or
cultivation.
• The majority of people are nomadic, they move from one place to another
with their animals.
• Because rainfall is very low that’s why unique system of karez is established.
• Through perennial canals many areas are irrigated.
• People there wear thick and rough clothes in order to protect them
from extreme heat.
• They move from one place to another in search of water.
• Source of rainfall
• Little rainfall from Western Depression and monsoon winds.
21.
22. Lowland Zone – Semi arid to arid
• Region: Indus plain except the Coastal areas.
• Areas: Islamabad, Sialkot, Sarghoda, Multan, Jacobabad, and
Sukkur
• Climate:
• It has arid and extreme climate with hot summers, cool winters and
summer monsoon rainfall.
• Thunderstorms are also common in north and north-west of the
Indus plain. The upper Indus plain and Lower Indus plain there’s
less rainfall and spells of very high temperature.
• Winters are cool-mild because of low angle of sun and continental
effect and summers are hot due to high angle of sun and continental
effect.
23. Life and Economic activities:
• The plain is drained through four tributaries of
Indus River, economically; it is the most
productive region of Pakistan. There is a well
developed canal system and many crops are
grown there such as millet, wheat, cotton and
sugarcane
• Population is high and there’s moderate rainfall
and tolerable temperature.
24.
25. Sources of rainfall:
• Convectional rainfall in northern Punjab
• Western depression in northern Punjab
• Monsoon rainfall
26. Coastal zone
• Region: Indus Delta, Karachi and Makran coast
• Areas: Karachi, Jiwani, Pasni, Ormara and Gwadar
• Climate:
• The climate is dominated by sea breezes throughout the year; the maritime
influence keeps the daily temperature low. The temperature on land and sea
is different; land and water absorb the sun’s heat and water and also radiate
it. In summer the land heats up, while ocean remains cool. In winter the
land loses heat quickly and becomes cold while ocean remains hot.
• The humidity level is usually high, more than 50% from April to September.
Means monthly temperature is 32C and May, June and October are the
hottest month.
• During October the climate is dominated by dry winds from south-eastern
desert. Rainfall is scanty; the rainfall is experienced during monsoon
season.
27.
28. Life and economic activities:
• The rainfall takes place during monsoon season, many tourist visit Karachi
in November and February and most of the social events are held in these
months. The extent of precipitation affects the supply of drinking water in
Gwadar. The development of Gwadar port had made is a major district of
Pakistan and had contributed in the economic development of Balochistan.
• Economic activities could be carried out throughout the year because of
moderate climate. Farming is possible, the sea ports are operational
throughout the year in order to carry international trade, roads and rail
transport links are never closed in the year for the businesses, air flights are
rarely cancelled, all types of industries are present there.
• However, during summer months, tropical cyclones sometimes cause
coastal flooding in low-lying areas causing damage to infrastructure.
Fishing is nearly impossible when the sea is wild and fishing communities
face losses.
31. Factors affecting temperature of
Pakistan
• Latitudinal effect:
• The areas that lie near the equator encounter more amounts of sun rays than the areas that don’t
lie near the equator. Southern Pakistan receives more amounts of sun rays as compared to
Northern Pakistan.
• Continental effect:
• The areas that are away from the sea are unaffected by maritime influence, consequently; they are
more hot as compared to areas near sea. Winters are extreme and summer temperatures are quite
severe
• Altitude and temperature
• Cloud cover and temperature
• In daytime cloud cover reduces the amount of heat by reflecting the heat back to the space but in
night time it traps the out going heat and because of this the cloudy nights are warm.
• Latitude and angle of sun
• The sun rays don’t fall at the same angle everywhere.
• During summer, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and the northern areas of
Pakistan absorb more heat because of high angle of sun, during winter the northern hemisphere
is tilted away from the sun and the northern areas experience sun for shorter duration.
32.
33. River flood
• Overflow of large amount of water beyond its
normal limit, especially over what is normally
dry land.
• Rivers are considered by many people around
the country as the best place for economic
development. Water is tentatively an imperative
resource for human beings but its excess may
lead to disaster. Excessive water in rivers bring
flood
34. Reasons of floods
• The current flooding in Pakistan is mainly due to climate change. It is the
unusual climate-change-led seasonal cycle of land temperature in Pakistan
that has exacerbated the monsoon rainfall and produced the hugest volume
of water in the northern mountainous region of the country ever recorded in
the history, causing floods in the Indus river basin.
• The wood is in demand and because of this there’s excessive cutting of tress
which increases surface run off, the trees mangroves act as a barrier and
they can protect the settlements from floods but because of increasing
industrialization and urbanization the water pollution is increasing
threatening mangroves
• The embankments around the river are not heightened, water easily reaches
the settlements.
• The dams don’t have much capacity to store water and because of this extra
water is not store causing flood.
35. Ways to reduce the risk of floods
• Planting more trees in order to keep check of the flow of water
• Build levees in order to prevent the spread of floodwater
• Stop building on floodplains
• Build flood controlling Dams.
Building Canals (Drains of Extra Water).
Using less greenhouse gases and reducing pollution in order to stop
global warming which is one of the major causes of floods
• Prevent Soil Erosion.
Do not build on high flood risk area.
• Flood warning should be given through media
• Floodwater must be drained out and facilities to the refugees must
be provided
36. Effects of flood
• The farmers aren’t able to use the land until the water
drains; they face destruction of crops and loss of food
supplies. The load of river improve the fertility of land
• the houses will cut off from the shops and services, mud
houses are damaged and water-borne diseases are
spread
• The transport system is severely affected, roads and
railway tracks are damaged and old routes are arduous
to follow because they are drained with water.
37. Precautions
• During monsoon season they must move to
somewhere else in order to protect their
livestock
• Local residents should change their place and
arrangements should be made in order to fulfill
the basic necessities of life.
• The transport authorities should prepare a
precaution plan and should tell the transporters
about the alternative ways. Roads and railway
tracks must be repaired on an emergency basis.
38. Benefits of floods
• Floods return nutrients to the land and
contribute to the health of wetlands
• Floods distribute rich sediments and refresh
stream. A flooded field could be used to cultivate
rice
• Allowing rivers and streams to overflow can
prevent more serious flooding
• The high level of fish production because of
nutrients
• Floods recharge the ground water supplies.
39. Storms
• A storm is any disturbed state of an astronomical
body's atmosphere especially affecting its surface, and strongly
implying severe. It may be marked by
strong wind, hail, thunder and/or lightning (a thunderstorm),
heavy precipitation (snowstorm, rainstorm), heavy freezing rain (ice
storm), strong winds (tropical cyclone, windstorm), or wind
transporting some substance through the atmosphere
40. Drought
• Drought is an extended period when a region notes a deficiency in its water supply.
A drought can last for months or years, or may be declared after as few as 15 days.
Generally, this occurs when a region receives consistently below average precipitation
• There are four ways of categorizing drought
• Permanent drought
• Exist where crop cultivation isn’t possible
• Seasonal drought:
• Occurs in areas with well-defined rainy and dry season
• Invisible drought:
• It is the result of a water deficiency that reduces crop yields
• Unpredictable drought
• It is the result of abnormally low rainfall
41. Causes of drought
• Natural
• Unreliability of monsoon winds may lead to seasonal drought
• The dry and hot winds can reduce the moisture contents of sandy
soil
• Global climate is constantly changing leading to changes in
Pakistan’s climate
• Human
• Deforestation on foothills increase soil erosion and reduces rainfall
• Mismanagement of water resources
• The disputed and unfair distribution of water
• Over grazing of land
• Global warming
42. Effects of drought
• The effects of drought on physical environment are sever, the land is
turned into a desert and because of this the soil is exposed leading to
soil erosion, many species are extinct because of lack of food.
There’s rise in temperature and loss of vegetation, because of low
precipitation there’s extension of desert areas.
• Drought not only effect physical environment but also human
environment, drought affect
• Population
• Loss of life because of widespread famines, malnutrition, health
problems and starvation
• Nomadic lifestyle because people migrate from the areas that are
affected by drought and because of this urbanization is increased
causing an increase in domestic waste leading to water pollution.
43. Drought management
• Water storage schemes: reservoirs and dams should be
built in order to store water and some traditional
methods should also be utilized in oreder to store water.
The areas that receive heavy rainfall can utilize the water
through perennial canal system. More projects are
required in order to mett the needs of people.
• New methods should be used, desalination process
should be used, conversion of waste water in to clean
water through chemical treatment
• Drought resistant seeds should be used
• High priority should be given to the allocation of water
to industrial areas and to meet the basic needs of people.
