GEOLOGICAL MAP OF PAKSITAN

Pakistan is situated in the south of Asia-continent.


The Pakistan is situated between 24.50 and 36.75 latitude north and 61 to
75.5 longitudes east.
Pakistan geologically overlaps both with the Indian and the Eurasian
tectonic plates where its Sindh and Punjab provinces lie on the northwestern corner of the Indian plate while Balochistan and most of the
Khyber- Pakhtunkhwa lie within the Eurasian plate.
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.
Tectonically China lies in the north, Afghanistan and Iran are in the West,
India lies in the East and Arabian Sea in South.
