Title: India and Pakistan


1
India and Pakistan
Yessenia Caldera Danielle Whiting
2
  • India
  • 644' and 3530' North latitude
  • 687' and 9725' East Longitude
  • Pakistan
  • 30and 0' North Latitude
  • 70and 0' East Longitude

3
India The country is divided between two time
zones so the hours of the days and nights do
differ
Pakistan The country only has one time zone so
the hours of the days and nights are the same.
4
India Greenwich Mean Time(GMT)5.5
hrs Pakistan Time zone (GMT) 5 hrs.
5
India The Tropic of Cancer passes through the
middle of India, the whole country is considered
to be tropical.
Pakistan Tropic of Cancer passes through the
bottom of the country
6
  • Pakistan
  • Epidote
  • Morganite
  • Tormaline
  • Aquamarine
  • Garnets
  • Apatites
  • India
  • Calcite(most famous, is found in the Deccan
    Traps)
  • Mica
  • Aventurine quartz
  • Hollandite (first one found)

7
  • India
  • It appears to have risen as a result of a
    collision between the drifting Indian plate and
    the Tibetan plate of South Asia about 50 million
    years ago.
  • The Himalayas reached their present heights much
    later.
  • The subcontinent's subsequent collision with the
    Eurasian Plate and subduction under it, gave rise
    to the Himalayas, the planet's highest mountains,
    which now abut India in the north and the
    north-east.
  • Impingement of the Indian Plate has continued for
    about 50 million years, whereas the Arabian Plate
    collision is more recent and began about 20
    million years ago.
  • Pakistan
  • As oceanic crust is sub ducted under a
    continental margin a sequence of distinctive
    landforms develops
  • Linear ranges of accreted material lie along the
    coast
  • A topographic depression form farther inland.
  • The Northern Areas and Azad Kashmir also lie
    mainly in Central Asia along the edge of the
    Indian plate and as a result are prone to severe
    earthquakes where Eurasian and the Indian plates
    collide.

8
  • Rivers
  • The main rivers are the Himalayan group
  • The Indus
  • The Ganga
  • The Brahmaputra
  • Watersheds
  • There are mainly three water-sheds.
  • Himalayan range with its Karakoram branch in the
    North
  • Vindhyan and Satpura ranges in Central India
  • Sahyadri or Western Chats on the West Coast.
  • All the major rivers of India originate in one or
    the other of these watersheds.

9
  • India
  • The north, north east and north west lie the
    Himalayan ranges Himalayas, the highest mountain
    system in the world, it is also one of the
    world's youngest mountain ranges.
  • Patkai and allied mountain ranges run along the
    Indo-Bangladesh-Burma border.
  • Aravalli range in north-western India is one of
    the oldest mountain systems in the world .
  • Vindhyan range traverses nearly the whole width
    of Peninsular India
  • Pakistan
  • Tirich Mir Mountain
  • Thar Desert
  • India and Pakistan
  • Encompassed by the India Ocean, and Arabian Sea

10
  • India
  • lowest point Indian Ocean 0 m
  • highest point Kanchenjunga 8,598 m
  • Pakistan
  • lowest point Indian Ocean 0 m
  • highest point K2 (Mt. Godwin-Austen) 8,611 m

11
  • India
  • Released an average 1.2 tons of Carbon dioxide
    per person in 2004
  • Pakistan
  • 97,409 tons of Carbon dioxide since 1998

12
  • India
  • Northeast Trade winds blow throughout the winter
    months.
  • During the Northern Hemisphere summer however,
    the ITCZ is shifted well to the north of the
    equator, when the midday Sun is overhead at the
    Tropic of Cancer at latitude 23.5 north.
  • The Southeast Trade winds now cross the equator,
    and are deflected to the right by the Coriolis
    force, forming the Southwest Monsoons.
  • This summertime airflow picks up considerable
    moisture crossing the Indian Ocean, and brings a
    heavy and prolonged wet season to India and
    Southeast Asia through April to September, known
    as the Monsoon.
  • Pakistan
  • High altitude mountains in an area where wind
    patterns are concentrated.
  • Such wind patterns commonly blow dust from the
    coastal valleys into the water.
  • In most rainfed areas of Pakistan, the soils have
    developed from wind and water transported
    materials and consist of loess, old alluvial
    deposits, mountain out-wash and recent stream
    valley deposits.

13
  • Pakistan
  • Has three seasons
  • Winter (November to March)
  • Is warm and cooled by sea breezes on the coast
  • Summer (April to July)
  • Has extreme temperatures
  • Monsoon season (July to September)
  • Has the highest rainfall on the hills. Karachi
    has little rain.
  • Average humidity 31
  • India
  • Hot tropical weather with variations from region
    to region.
  • Coolest weather lasts from December to February.
  • Really hot weather, is between March and May.
  • Monsoon rains occur in most regions in summer
    between June and September.
  • Southwest Humidity is extreme
  • Southeast Tamil Nadu has monsoons between
    October and December. Humidity are high all year
  • Northeast  March to June and September to
    November are the driest and most pleasant periods
  • Average humidity 40- 60

14
  • Climate Temperate
  • How mountains, altitudes, proximity to large body
    of water affects the climate
  • 43 sandy beaches, 11 rocky coast including
    cliffs, and 46 marshy coast.
  • India's climate is strongly influenced by the
    Himalayas and the Thar Desert, both of which
    drive the monsoons.
  • The Himalayas prevent cold Central Asian
    katabolic winds from blowing in, keeping the bulk
    of the Indian subcontinent warmer than most
    locations at similar latitudes.
  • The Thar Desert plays a crucial role in
    attracting the moisture-laden southwest summer
    monsoon winds that, between June and October,
    provide the majority of India's rainfall
  • Marine or continental climates Marine
  • Arid or humid climates, how this refers to the
    latitudes Humid, due to having the tropic of
    cancer pass right through the country.
  • Microclimates India hosts six major climatic
    subtypes, ranging from arid desert in the west,
    alpine tundra and glaciers in the north, and
    humid tropical regions supporting rainforests in
    the southwest and the island territories. Many
    regions have starkly different microclimates.

15
  • Climate Temperate
  • How mountains, altitudes, proximity to large body
    of water affects the climate
  • There is little rainfall.
  • These generalizations should not, however,
    obscure the distinct differences existing among
    particular locations.
  • The coastal area along the Arabian Sea is usually
    warm, whereas the frozen snow-covered ridges of
    the Karakoram Range and of other mountains of the
    far north are so cold year round that they are
    only accessible by world-class climbers for a few
    weeks in May and June of each year.
  • Marine or continental climates Marine
  • Arid or humid climates, how this refers to the
    latitudes The climate is generally arid,
    characterized by hot summers and cool or cold
    winters, and wide variations between extremes of
    temperature at given locations.
  • Microclimates Pakistan mostly hot, dry desert
    temperate in northwest arctic in north

16
  • India
  • Bounded on the south west by the Arabian Sea and
    on the south east by the Bay of Bengal
  • Salinities
  • Less than 35 parts per thousand have been
    recorded in the upper 150 feet of the sea, while
    during the dry season (November to March)
  • When the northeast monsoon winds blow, salinities
    of more than 36 parts per thousand have been
    recorded at the surface over the entire Arabian
    Sea north of latitude 5 N, except off the Somali
    coast.
  • Pakistan
  • Is also on the southern side of the country,
    there you will see the Arabian Sea, and past the
    Arabian sea is the Indian ocean.
  • A salinity of 35 psu

17
India Suffer from droughts flash floods, as
well as widespread and destructive flooding from
monsoonal rains severe thunderstorms
earthquakes
Pakistan Suffer from frequent earthquakes,
occasionally severe especially in north and west
flooding along the Indus River after heavy rains
(July and August)
