Southern Asia lies between Iran to the west and Myanmar to eat. China lies to the north, while Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan border Afghanistan in the far northwest.
the northern part of the region is mountainous. It includes such great ranges as the Hindu Kush in Afghanistan, the Karakoram Range between Pakistan and China, and the mighty Himalayas. Gertile plains extend from eastern Pakistan across northern India into Bangladesh. Some of the world's greatest rivers, including the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra, drain these plains. The lower parts of the Brahmaputra and Ganges in Bangladesh have created the world's largest delta.
Southern India consists mainly of a large plateau called the Deccan, which is bordered y two mountain ranges, the Western and Easter Ghats. Sri Lanka contains a mountain region surrounded by fertile plains. The Maldives consists of a chain of low coral islands tying south of India.
The northwest is mostly dry and includes the Thar Desert on the border between Pakistan and India. The northern mountains have cold winters, but much of Southern Asia is warm and tropical.
