Global outskirts are imparted to Thailand and the Lao People's Democratic Republic on the West and the North, and the Social Republic of Viet Nam on the East and the Southeast. The nation is limited on the Southeast by the Gulf of Thailand. In examination with neighbors, Cambodia is a geological contact nation authoritatively made out of 20 territories, three of which have moderately short sea limits, 2 regions, 172 regions, and 1,547 cooperatives. The nation has a coastline of 435 km and broad mangrove stands, some of which are moderately undisturbed.

The predominant elements of the Cambodian scene are the expansive, by and large found, Tonle Sap (Great Lake) and the Bassac River Systems and the Mekong River, which crosses the nation from North to South. Encompassing the Central Plains which secured seventy five percent of the nation's region are the all the more thickly forested and meagerly populated good countries, including: the Elephant Mountains and Cardamom Mountain of the southwest and western districts; the Dangrek Mountains of the North connecting of the Korat Plateau of Thailand; and Rattanakiri Plateau and Chhlong high countries on the east converging with the Central Highlands of Viet Nam.
The Tonle Sap Basin-Mekong Lowlands area comprises principally of fields with rises for the most part of under 100 meters.
As the rise expands, the landscape turns out to be additionally moving and analyzed.
The Cardamom Mountains in the southwest ascent to more than 1,500 meters and is arranged for the most part in a northwest-southeast course. The most astounding mountain in Cambodia –Phnom Aural, at 1.771meters – is in the eastern piece of this extent.
The Elephant Range, an expansion of Cardamom Mountains, runs towards the south and the southeast and ascends to heights of somewhere around 500 and 1,000 meters. These two territory are verged on the west are slender beach front plain confronting the bay of Thailand that contains Kampong Som Bay. The Dangrek Mountains at the northern edge of Tonle Sap Basin, comprising of a precarious slope on the southern edge of the Korat Plateau in Thailand, denote the limit in the middle of Thailand and Cambodia. The normal height of around 500 meters with the most astounding focuses coming to more than 700 meters. Between the northern piece of the Cardamom ranges and the western piece of the Dangrek, falsehoods and augmentation of the Tonle Sap Basin that converges into the fields in Thailand, permitting simple gets to from the fringe of Bangkok.
The Mekong River Cambodia's biggest waterway, rules the hydrology of the nation. The stream begins in territory China, courses through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand before entering Cambodia. At Phnom Penh, with option arms, the Bassak River from the south, and the Tonle Sap River connecting with the " Great Lake " itself –Tonle Sap – frame northwest. It proceeds advance southeastward to its lower delta in Viet Nam and toward the South China Sea.
The segment of Mekong River going through Cambodia exists in the topical wet and dry zone. It has a claimed dry season amid the Northern Hemisphere winter, with around 80 percent of the yearly precipitation happening amid the southwest storm in May-October. The Mekong River normal yearly stream at Kratié of 441 km3 is evaluated as 93 percent of the aggregate Mekong keep running off release into the ocean. The release at Kratié ranges from at least 1,250m3/s to the most extreme 66,700m3/s.
The part of Tonle Sap as a cradle of the Mekong River framework surges and the wellspring of advantageous dry season streams warrants clarification. The Mekong River swells with waters amid the rainstorm coming to a surge release of 40,000m3/s at Phnom Penh. By about mid-June, the stream of Mekong and the Bassak River encouraged by storm downpours increments to a point where its outlets through the delta can't deal with the colossal volume of water, flooding broad neighboring floodplains for 4-7 months. As of right now, rather than flooding its backs, its floodwaters hold the stream of the Tonle Sap River (around 120 km long), which then has the most extreme inflow rate of 1.8m/s and enters the Grate Lake, the biggest normal lake in Southeast Asia, expanding the span of the lake from around 2,600 km2 to 10,00 km2 and astoundingly to 13,000 km2 and raising the water level by and normal 7m at the tallness of the flooding. This specificity of the Tonle Sap makes it the main "stream with return " on the planet.
After the Mekong's water peak (when its downstream channels can deal with the volume of water), the stream turns around and water streams out of the engorged lake. The Great Lake then goes about as a characteristic surge maintenance bowl. At the point when the surges die down, water begins streaming out of the Great Lake, coming to a most extreme outpouring rate of 2.0m/s and, over the dry season, build standard streams by around 16 percent, along these lines lessening saltiness interruption in the lower Mekong Delta in Viet Nam. When the lake water level drops to its base surface size, a band 20-30 km wide of immerse woods is left dry with stores of another layer of dregs. This woodland, which is of awesome hugeness for fish, is currently enormously diminished in size through salvation and deforestation. The region surge around Phnom Penh and down to the Vietnamese outskirt is around
