Afghanistan dust storm hemmed in by the Makran Coastal Range, Central Makran Range, and Sulaiman Ranges in Pakistan.

Makran Coastal Range is a mountain range in the Makran region, in southwestern section of Balochistan Province, in southwestern Pakistan. It is one of three ranges in the mountain ranges system. The range rises to around 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) in elevation.

Geology

The Makran Coastal Range is primarily made up of limestone and sandstone. It was formed when the northwestern Indian plate collided with the Asian plate.

Adjacent ranges

There are three main ranges in Balochistan:

  • the Makran Coastal Range (up to about 1,500 metres (4,900 ft));
  • the Central Makran Range (2,000–3,000 metres (6,600–9,800 ft));
