55 million years ago during the cretaceous dispersal of the Gondwana land the Pakistan tectonic plate moved across what is now the Indian ocean from its position between Antartica and Arabia and collided with the Asiatic plate. A consequence of the collision was the creation of the Karakoram mountains "the world most extensive and beautiful range of highest mountains" Pakistan is the junction of four highest mountains ranges of the world includes Himalayan range, Karakoram range, Hindukush range and Pamirs. Thus making this land as the densest concentration of the high mountains in the world. Five peaks over 8000 meters and 101 peaks over 7000 meters above sea level with in a radius of 188 kilometers.
