Explanation

The earthquake of October 2005 was result of Tectonic dislocation

Explanation

The 2022 floods in Pakistan were primarily caused by exceptionally heavy monsoon rains, far above average.

These rains led to massive flooding across all provinces, affecting millions.

Explanation

Primary Cause of 2022 Floods:

Record Monsoon Rains: Pakistan received 190% more rainfall than average (NDMA data), submerging 1/3 of the country.

Glacial Melt: Heatwaves accelerated melting, adding to water volume (UN report).

Poor Infrastructure: Weak dams, drainage systems, and urban planning worsened flooding.
