Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Draw special attention to the Indus River as it is the lifeblood of Pakistan. Ask pupils to prepare

a map of the course of the river, with photographs and text on the countryside through which it

passes, including regions, products, vegetation, irrigation, etc.

It is difficult to determine a figure for average rainfall in Pakistan because the regions vary so widely,

from 0 to 1500 millimetres. A temperate country such as the United Kingdom, for example, has a

range of about 550 to 1,250 millimetres. Ask pupils to compare these figures with the world record

of 22,900 millimetres in Assam; if all of the rainwater had stayed on the ground, it would have been

almost 30 metres deep. Point out a building of that height in the local area so that pupils can imagine

what it would have been like.
