These deserts have very little rain and very hot weather. Some
areas have sand dunes and dry bushes.

The northern areas can get snow, while southern areas can reach
high temperatures above 45°C.

Natural Resources
Pakistan is rich in natural resources. These include:

• Forests and freshwater
These resources help the economy and provide jobs.

Pakistan also faces some environmental problems:
• Floods and droughts
• Deforestation (cutting down trees)
• Air and water pollution

These issues affect farming, health, and natural beauty.

Pakistan's geography is full of variety. From snowy mountains
to hot deserts and green farms to salty mines, Pakistan has it all.
Understanding geography helps us take care of our land and use
our resources wisely. It also helps us be proud of the natural
beauty our country has.
