Turkmenistan?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Turkmenistan is a Central Asian country that is located between Kazakhstan and Iran. It borders the Caspian Sea.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">What is the Geography of Turkmenistan?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The total area of Turkmenistan is 491,210 sq. km (189,660 sq. mi), out of which 469,930 sq. km (181,441 sq. mi) is land area and 18,170 sq. km (7,015 sq. mi) is water area. The country has a 4,158 km (2,584 mi) long land boundary, which is shared with 4 neighboring countries: Uzbekistan (1,793 km or 1,114 mi), Iran (1,148 km or 713 mi), Afghanistan (804 km or 500 mi), and Kazakhstan (413 km or 257 mi).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The landform of Turkmenistan is dominated by the flat Kara Kum desert, which is spread from north to south. This part of the terrain is sandy and scrubby, which has a limited potential for agriculture. The south-central border of Turkmenistan along Iran is covered by the Kopetdag Mountain Range. Earthquakes are very common in this part of the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The highest elevation point of the country is Gora Ayribaba at 3,139 m (10,299 ft), which is located in the Pamir Mountain Range, extending across the far eastern border of Turkmenistan. The major mountains of the country are Gora Ziyerati Chnagurak, Bugor Daderanly, Bugor Yannydepe, Gora Karababa, Gora Dengli-Dag, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The lowest elevation point of the country is Vpadina Akchanaya at -81 m (-266 ft). The mean elevation point of the Republic of Turkmenistan is 230 m (755 ft). The land elevations below the sea level (especially the Sarykamish Lake\u2019s shorelines and along the Caspian Sea) continues for many miles inland.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The most important rivers in Turkmenistan are Amu Darya, Morghab River, Tejen River, Atrek River, etc. There are some major lakes too in the country and some of them are Sarygamysh, Kattashor, Hanhowuz Reservoir, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The climate in Turkmenistan is arid continental, characterized by sunny and scorching hot summers and cold winters. The weather is unstable as there are different air masses present in the country. Both heat waves and cold waves take place here. Dust storms are raised when the wind starts blowing strongly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Due to the presence of the Karakum Desert, the temperature during the summertime can reach 50 \u00b0C (122 \u00b0F).
