From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bangladesh occupies the delta plain of the Ganges (Padma) and the Brahmaputra (Jamuna) rivers.[1] The country’s geological history is covered by several kilometers of 2-million-year-old sediments.[1] Bangladesh has begun to extract natural gas from the tectonic belt in the eastern part of the country to generate electricity.[1] Coal was discovered in northwestern Bangladesh in the 1960s.[1]
