Where is Pakistan?
Pakistan is in southern Asia. It shares a border with Iran to the west. Northwest is Afghanistan, and northeast is China. On the eastern border is India. Its southern coast is on the Arabian sea, and the Guld of Oman.
Pakistan ranges from temperate to tropical climates. The annual monsoon season can cause flooding. Lying on the edge of a tectonic plate, parts of the country are also vulnerable to earthquakes. Melting glaciers and higher temperatures caused by the climate crisis have increased the chances of droughts, flooding and storms. According to scientific research, climate change was a significant factor in the flooding of 2022 in Pakistan.
