Africa
Africa's topography is a complex tapestry of plateaus, mountains, valleys, and deserts. The continent is dominated by vast plateaus, with elevations averaging around 1,000 meters (3,281 feet), especially prominent in the south and east. The Ethiopian Highlands, often referred to as the "Roof of Africa," rise to formidable heights, with peaks such as Ras Dejen reaching 4,550 meters (14,928 feet). The Great Rift Valley, a significant geological feature, stretches from the Red Sea down to Mozambique, creating deep depressions hosting some of Africa's largest lakes, including Lake Tanganyika and Lake Malawi, and marked by volcanic mountains such as Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest point at 5,895 metres (19,341 ft) and Mount Kenya. In the northwest, the Atlas Mountains extend through Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, with Mount Toubkal standing as the range's highest point at 4,167 meters (13,671 feet). Contrasting these elevations, the Sahara Desert sprawls across North Africa, characterized by expansive sand dunes and rocky plateaus. The southern part of Africa includes the Kalahari Desert and the Drakensberg Mountains, which rise steeply from the plains. This diverse terrain influences the continent's climate, biodiversity, and human settlements.
