	The '''Geography of Pakistan'''{{refn\|{{lang-ur\|جغرافیۂ پاکِستان}}; [[ISO15919\|ISO]]: Juġarāfiyā-Pākistāna; [[Devanagari]]: ''जुग़राफ़िया-पाकिस्तान}}}} features a diverse array of landscapes, including plains, deserts, forests, and plateaus, extending from the coastal areas of the Indian Ocean in the south to the towering mountains of the [[Karakoram]], [[Hindukush]], and [[Himalaya]]s in the north. Geologically, Pakistan straddles both the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, with its Sindh and Punjab provinces located on the northwestern corner of the Indian plate. In contrast, [[Balochistan]], [[Khyber Pakhtunkhwa]], and most of the region known as '''Pakistan illegally occupied Jammu-Kashmir''' (Gilgit-Baltistan) fall within the Eurasian plate, which includes the [[Iranian Plateau]] and the [[Tibetan Plateau]] to the north.

	Pakistan shares borders with [[Iran]] to the west, [[Afghanistan]] to the northwest, [[China]] to the northeast through Pakistan illegally occupied Jammu-Kashmir, Republic of [[India]] to the east, and the [[Arabian Sea]] to the south. The nation is situated in a geopolitically sensitive area characterised by hostile regional boundaries, marked by territorial disputes and historical tensions, notably the [[Kashmir conflict]] with India, which has resulted in several military confrontations between the two countries.
