You are in Geography of Bangladesh Bangladesh is situated in the eastern part of the Asian subcontinent and is surrounded on three sides by India. Most of its southern border is on the Bay of Bengal and it borders Myanmar for a brief stretch at its southeastern tip. Bangladesh was a part of the Indian province of Bengal until 1947 when the British partitioned the subcontinent into India and Pakistan. Thereafter, it became East Pakistan and was administered from West Pakistan, but later acquired independence in 1972, after a brief and bloody war. Situated in the middle of the Ganges delta, the land is crisscrossed with rivers and canals that flow into the Bay of Bengal, including the three great rivers, the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Meghna. While plains dominate the land, average elevations reach up to 250 meters in the northeast and to over 600 meters in the southeast. The weather ranges from hot and humid in the summer to mildly cool winters with heavy rains during the monsoons. Natural hazards such as floods and hurricanes are common and cause great damage to human life and property.

A Brief History Bangladesh is a new country but a very old culture. The country was only formed in 1971. Before that it had been called East Pakistan. After a Civil War, East and West Pakistan became separate countries. Before 1947, Bangladesh had been part of the British Empire. Before that, it was part of the Mughal Empire. From 1200 AD a number of Muslim missionaries arrived in the area and began converting the Hindu and Buddhist population to Islam. Land and Water The Delta Bangladesh is a flat country on the delta of three large rivers: The Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Mehtna. The silt that these three rivers have deposited in the delta means that Bangladesh is a very fertile country. However, the low level of the delta land means that the country is prone to flooding. 75% of Bangladesh is at or below just 10 metres in height. This plain makes up the majority of Bangladesh. Although, there are some hills in the south-east of the country. The east of the country contains thick forest. The Weather Monsoon Rains The low land of the Bangladesh delta makes it easy for it to flood. There are two main reasons why flooding can occur: Rivers overflowing and monsoon rains. Interestingly, both of these events happen many hundreds or even thousands of miles away from Bangladesh and there is very little that Bangladesh can do to prevent them from happening.
