                          Physical Region                  

1)    The area where geographical, social, and cultural environment is common is called a region.

2)    Physical Region: The area where physical feature (climate, temperature, rain, soil, and altitude) are almost the same, is called physical region.

3)    Physical region of pakistanPakistan is divide in to five parts or region in accordance with different surface features and climate conditions.     
1) Mountain region   
2) Plain region                  
3) Plateau          
4) Coastal area                                   
5) Desert

4)  1) Mountain Region:   The world highest mountain ranges Karakuram, Himalyas and Hindukush are located in north and Noth west of Pakistan.

5)  The world second highest mountain peak K-2 is located in same region.

6)   Koh-e-Sulaiman and Kairther mountain ranges are located in North West.

7)   2) Plain Region: This is the most fertile region of Pakistan.

8)   The river Indus and its tributaries i.e. Sutlej, Ravi, Chenab, And Jhelum flow in this region.

9)   Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan and Hyderabad are situated in these plain areas.

10)3) Plateau: A high and flat area of the land having at least one sharp slope is called plateau. There are two plateaus in Pakistan.   
1) Pothohar Plateau          
2) Baluchistan Plateau

11)Pothohar Plateau: Pothohar Plateau is located between the Indus and Jhelum rivers. It is a dry land.

12)Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Jhelum and chakwal are located in this Pothohar plateau.

13)Baluchistan Plateau:  It is rough and rocky area. Rain is rare in this area.

14)Underground canals have been built in some areas. These canals are called “Karez”.

15)The Tibet plateau is located in china.

16)4) Coastal area:  Coastal area, along with the Arabian Sea, is located in the south of Pakistan.

17)It is widely spread from Karachi towards Baluchistan in the west.

18)“Bin-Qasim” port has been built up here and work is start on another big and modern port “Gawadar” in Baluchistan.

19)5) Deserts: Some locations of our country are dry and almost unpopulated. Neither cultivation, nor cattle rearing is possible due to lack of water and irrigation in this area. Such areas are called deserts or sandy area.

20)Pakistan Deserts:         

1) Thal Deserts Punjab      
2) Cholistan Deserts Punjab
3) Thar Desert  Sindh      
4) Kharan Deserts Baluchistan 


                                        Climate                       

1)    Climate: The average weather conditions of a region for a long time (about 30 years) is called climate.

2)    There are some factors which effect climate.                                                                                           
1) Distance from the equator                     
2) Distance from the Sea  
3) Altitude from the sea level           
4)Direction of wind                                      
5) Direction of mountain                  
6) Ocean currents

3)    The weather is hot at the equator while cold at both the pole.

4)    The world is divided in to the following three large regions on the base of latitude.

5)    Torrid Zone (منطقہ حارہ): It is located between 23.5 degree to the north and south of equator.

6)   The weather of these areas remains hot all the yearlong.

7) Temperate Zone (منطقہ معتدلہ): The region is located between 23.50 and 66.50 in the northern and southern hemispheres.

8)   These areas are warm in summer and cold in winter.

9)   Frigid Zone (منطقہ باردہ): This region is located between 66.50 and 900 in the northern and southern hemispheres.

10)The weather of these areas remains moderate in summer extremely cold in winter.  

11)Pakistan is located in the north from tropic of cancer. Therefore its climate should be moderate. 

12)The climate of our country is change from place to place because of its physiographic and structure.

13)Climate of mountain region: The northern, north western and north eastern hilly areas of Pakistan are up above the sea level.

14)The winter season is long and extreme there. Similarly the summer season is also moderates there.

15)Climate of the plains regions: Most of areas of Punjab and Sindh are situated in Indus plain.

16)Summer season of Sindh and south Punjab is very hot and long.

17)Climate of Baluchistan Plateau: Baluchistan plateau covers a vast area of land. Its summer season is dry and hot while, winter season is moderate.                     

18)Effect of human activities on climate: Industries are rapidly increasing which causes emission of the poisonous gases like carbon mono oxide and chlorofluorocarbon (CFC).

19)Greenhouse gases: The atmospheric gases which absorb energy from the sun and restrain it to return back in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases.

20)Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapors and dust particles.

21)Twister: Many times at some places the wind starts blowing in circular motion this is called twister.

22)Cyclone: When twister circle wind cover an area of several kilometers then it is called Cyclone.
