All the important topics of geo2 have been asked in this paper.
Q3. population distribution
Q4. steel industry: a major topic of industrial and economic geography
Q5: Now don't tell me that an aspirant having geography has not prepared the physical features of pakistan or he does not know how to draw a map of pakistan.
Q6: what is the question no.6?
Q7: fresh water problem: in the light of indus water treaty and water conflict between pak and India.

Its convection cell

btw weren't Kalabagh, the Fresh Water Question and the Energy Crisis of Pakistan related? Like all of em had mixed points.

any comments?

sumair shah Tuesday, March 05, 2013 03:48 AM

According to indus water treaty, Indus, chenab and jhelum were alloted to pakstan. Besides, it was decided that Marala Head could be used by the Indians provided its flow must not go down below 52000 cusecs. But Indian is building dams on these rivers, causing water scarcity in pakistan these days.
