ABSTRACT
The geomorphic evolution of Pakistan and bordering areas is a result of ongoing tectonism associated with the movement of the Indo-Pakistani plate into the Eurasian plate. The raising of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau and the Himalaya led to complex formation of the Indus and Punjab drainage systems that evolved through superposition, antecedence, fault offsetting, headward erosion, ponding and overflow, avulsion, capture and delta building to the present configuration. Across this vast tectonic and fluvial landscape, the erosional and depositional results of volcanism, glaciation, slope failure, aeolian activity and marine processes have left their strong imprint as well.
