Extreme points of Afghanistan

Okay, imagine that Afghanistan is a big, big mountain. Now, imagine that different parts of the mountain stick out the most. These are called “extreme points” or the highest points that stick out a lot.

Now, let’s talk about these extreme points. First, there’s the highest point of the mountain which is called Nowshak. It’s really, really tall and almost touches the sky!

Then, there’s the lowest point of the mountain which is called the Amu Darya River. It’s like a really deep hole in the ground where water flows through.

Lastly, there are the easternmost, southernmost, and westernmost points of the mountain. These are like the corners of a square or the edges of a puzzle piece. They’re all far away from each other but they complete the shape of the mountain.

So, those are the extreme points of Afghanistan! They’re like the special, unique parts of the big mountain that make it even more interesting and cool.
