The geographical environment of Pakistan

The national territory is 880,254 square kilometers (including Pakistan-controlled Kashmir) and 796,095 square kilometers (excluding Pakistan-controlled Kashmir). Located in the northwest of the South Asian subcontinent, it borders the Arabian Sea in the south, and borders India, China, Afghanistan and Iran in the east, north and west respectively.

Three-fifths of the whole territory is mountainous and hilly, the southern coast is desert, and the northern extension is continuous plateau pasture and fertile soil. The highest mountain in China, Chogory Peak (altitude 86 1 1m). Three world famous mountains, namely Himalayas, Karakorum and Hindu Kush, gather in the northwest of Pakistan, forming a unique landscape.

Pakistan has a tropical climate, with generally high temperature and scarce precipitation. The area with annual precipitation less than 250 mm accounts for more than three quarters of the country's total area. The Indus River flows through Pakistan, and its runoff varies greatly in seasons. In order to adjust the water quantity and meet the needs of irrigation, a large number of water conservancy projects have been built, creating conditions for the development of agricultural production.
