Geography and Environment

Bangladesh is a land of rivers, with the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers all flowing through the country. The fertile delta created by these rivers makes Bangladesh one of the most agriculturally productive countries in the region. The country is also home to the world's largest mangrove forest, the Sundarbans, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

 Bangladesh is a country in South Asia that is bordered by India to the north, east, and west, and Myanmar to the southeast. The Bay of Bengal lies to the south of the country, and the country's extensive river systems are a defining feature of its geography.

The country is relatively flat, with the highest point being only about 1,064 meters (3,491 feet) above sea level. The geography is dominated by the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna river system, which flows through the country from the Himalayas and empties into the Bay of Bengal. These rivers provide vital resources for the country, including water for irrigation, transportation, and fishing.

Bangladesh is prone to natural disasters, including floods, cyclones, and landslides, due to its location in the delta of three major rivers. The country experiences significant flooding during the monsoon season, which typically lasts from June to September. Cyclones are also a significant risk,
