7. Geography of Pakistan
• 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 Baluchistan 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.

8. Geography of Pakistan
• Pakistan is bordered by India to the
east, Afghanistan to the northwest and Iran to 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
