Afghan geography

Afghanistan is a landlocked country located in South-Central Asia, bordered by six countries: Pakistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and China. Its landscape is predominantly mountainous, with the Hindu Kush range running through the center. These mountains create a rugged terrain that influences climate and agriculture. The country has diverse ecosystems, from arid deserts to fertile valleys. Major rivers include the Amu Darya and the Helmand. Afghanistan's geography has historically played a significant role in its cultural and political interactions, serving as a crossroads for trade and migration in the region.
