Earthquake hazard zones of Pakistan. 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 topography of Pakistan is divided into seven geographic areas: the northern highlands, the Indus River plain, the desert areas, the Pothohar Plateau, Balochistan Plateau, Salt Range, and the Sistan Basin. All the rivers of Pakistan, i.e. Sindh, Ravi River, Chenab River, Jhelum River, and Sutlej River, originate from the Himalayas mountain ...
A Topographic map of Pakistan. By 1956, the GSP worked extremely close with the United States Geological Survey (USGS); the USGS established multimillion-dollar work laboratories and facilities in all over the country and cooperation continued until 1970. [7] In 1957, the GSP discovered the large stockpiles of uranium in Sindh and Punjab. [8]
The Geography of Pakistan (Urdu: جغرافیۂ پاکِستان) encompasses a wide variety of landscapes varying from plains to deserts, forests, and plateaus ranging from the coastal areas of the Indian Ocean in the south to the mountains of the Karakoram, Hindukush, Himalayas ranges in the north. Pakistan geologically overlaps both with the ...
The Kirthars are part of the Kirthar-Sulaiman geologic province, [2] which stretches from the Arabian Sea coast north to northwestern Pakistan along the western boundary of the Indus Valley. The upper portions of the mountains are largely limestone , while the middle and southern portions of the mountain are shale which date to the middle ...
The Chaman Fault is a major, active geological fault in Pakistan and Afghanistan that runs for over 850 km. [1] Tectonically, it is actually a system of related geologic faults that separates the Eurasian plate from the Indo-Australian plate. It is a terrestrial, primarily transform, left-lateral strike-slip fault.
Salt Range in Mianwali District, Punjab, Pakistan. The Salt Range (Punjabi: سلسلہ کوہ نمک) is a mountain range in the north of Punjab [1] province of Pakistan, deriving its name from its extensive deposits of rock salt. [1] [2] The range extends along the south of the Potohar Plateau and the north of the Jhelum River.
