8. 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 Balochistan and most of
the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa lie within the Eurasian plate
which mainly comprises the Iranian plateau, some parts of
the Middle East and Central Asia. The Northern
Areas and Azad Kashmir lie mainly in Central Asia along
the edge of the Indian plate and hence are prone to
violent earthquakes where the two tectonic plates collide.

9. Pakistan is bordered by Afghanistan to the north-west
and Iran to the west while the People's Republic of
China borders the country in the north and India to
the east. 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 andSouth
Asia.

11. Climatic Conditions
 The climate in the capital city of Islamabad varies from an average daily
low of 2° C in January to an average daily high of 40° C in June. Half of
the annual rainfall occurs in July and August, averaging about 255
millimeters in each of those two months. The remainder of the year has
significantly less rain, amounting to about fifty millimeters per month.
Hailstorms are common in the spring.
 Pakistan's largest city, Karachi, which is also the country's industrial
center, is more humid than Islamabad but gets less rain. Only July and
August average more than twenty-five millimeters of rain in the
Karachi area; the remaining months are exceedingly dry. The
temperature is also more uniform in Karachi than in Islamabad,
ranging from an average daily low of 13° C during winter evenings to an
average daily high of 34° C on summer days. Although the summer
temperatures do not get as high as those in Punjab, the high humidity
causes the residents a great deal of discomfort.
