Geographical Matters of Bangladesh(Physical geography)


The actual geology of Bangladesh is shifted and has a region described by two particular components: a wide deltaic plain subject to visit flooding, and a little uneven locale crossed by quickly streaming waterways. The nation has a space of 147,610 square kilometers (56,990 sq mi) and broadens 820 kilometers (510 mi) north to south and 600 kilometers (370 mi) east to west. Bangladesh is verged on the west, north, and east by a 4,095 kilometers (2,545 mi) land wilderness with India and, in the southeast, by a short land and water boondocks (193 kilometers (120 mi)) with Burma (Myanmar). On the south is an exceptionally sporadic deltaic coastline of around 580 kilometers (360 mi), fissured by numerous waterways and streams streaming into the Bay of Bengal. The regional waters of Bangladesh broaden 12 nautical miles (22 km), and the selective financial zone of the nation is 200 nautical miles (370 km). 


Generally 80% of the landmass is comprised of fruitful alluvial swamp called the Bangladesh Plain. The plain is important for the bigger Plain of Bengal, which is in some cases called the Lower Gangetic Plain. In spite of the fact that heights up to 105 meters (344 ft) above ocean level happen in the northern piece of the plain, most rises are under 10 meters (33 ft) above ocean level; rises decline in the waterfront south, where the territory is by and large adrift level. With such low heights and various streams, water—and attending flooding—is a prevalent actual component. Around 10,000 square kilometers (3,900 sq mi) of the all out space of Bangladesh is covered with water, and bigger regions are regularly overflowed during the storm season. 


The lone exemptions for Bangladesh's low heights are the Chittagong Hills in the southeast, the Low Hills of Sylhet in the upper east, and good countries in the north and northwest. The Chittagong Hills comprise the lone huge slope framework in the nation and, essentially, are the western edge of the north–south mountain scopes of Burma and eastern India. The Chittagong Hills rise steeply to limit edge lines, by and large no more extensive than 36 meters (118 ft), with elevations from 600 to 900 meters (2,000 to 3,000 ft) above ocean level. At 1,052 meters (3,451 ft) height, the most noteworthy rise in Bangladesh is found at Saka Haphong, in the southeastern piece of the slopes. Fruitful valleys lie between the slope lines, which by and large run north–south. West of the Chittagong Hills is a wide plain, cut by streams depleting into the Bay of Bengal, that ascents to a last chain of low beach front slopes, for the most part under 200 meters (660 ft), that achieve a greatest rise of 350 meters (1,150 ft). West of these slopes is a thin, wet beach front plain situated between the urban areas of Chittagong in the north and Cox's Bazar in the south. 


About 67% of Bangladesh's nonurban land is arable. Super durable yields cover just 2%, knolls and fields cover 4%, and timberlands and forest cover about 16%. The nation delivers huge amounts of value wood, bamboo, and sugarcane. Bamboo fills in practically all regions, however great lumber fills generally in the good country valleys. Elastic planting in the bumpy areas of the nation was embraced during the 1980s, and elastic extraction had begun before the decade's over. An assortment of wild creatures are found in the woods regions, for example, in the Sundarbans on the southwest coast, which is the home of the illustrious Bengal tiger. The alluvial soils in the Bangladesh Plain are by and large rich and are advanced with hefty sediment stores conveyed downstream during the stormy season.
