50. Climatic Conditions
• As Pakistan is located on a great
landmass north of the tropic of cancer, it
has a continental type of climate
characterized by extreme variations of
temperature, both seasonally and daily.
Very high altitudes modify the climate in
the cold, snow-covered northern
mountains. Whereas most regions have
very hot days in summers & very cold in
winters. Pakistan lies in moonson region
& frequent rainfalls & storms occur
during the season causing large scale
destruction every year.

51. Agriculture
• Pakistan's principal natural resources
are arable land and water. The most
agricultural province is Punjab where
wheat and cotton are the most grown. Some
people also have mango.
• Pakistan’s export reserves consist largely of
agricultural products.
• Two main season in Pakistan
• i) Rabi Season
• ii) Kharif Season:

52.  The rabi crops are grown

and lasts until October 15
 Rice
 Millet Jawar Maize
 Mung bean
 Sugarcane
 Peanut

53. Natural Resources
• Pakistan is rich in natural resources.
• Coal: Huge reserves of coal are found in

• Natutral Gas: There is a large number
of Gas fields in Balochistan esp. in SUI
Balochistan
• Salt mines: Khewra is the largest salt
mine in the world. Other two salt mines
are warcha & Kalabagh.
• Gold & precious metals: Gold deposits
