Kiribati Originally by Jonathan Willis-Richards This version edited by Mike Pearson Home Sitemap Search Contact Kiribati: Geography Ask a question or join in the discussion - Kiribati discussion forum Geography Oceanography Geophysics ... Marine Geology Geography Kiribati is made up of 33 islands in 3 groups scattered over more than 5 million sq km of the Central Pacific Ocean. Total land area of the country is approximately 800 sq km. The Gilberts Group consists of 16 islands lying roughly north-south between 1400 and 2100 km north of Fiji. Tarawa is slightly to the north of the centre of the Gilberts chain of islands. The Phoenix Islands consist of 8 islands (mostly uninhabited) lying approximately 1800 km south-east of the Gilberts Group. The third group, the Line Islands, is divided into two smaller groups; the northern-most are situated about 3300 km east of the Gilberts Group and about 2000 km south of Hawaii. The southern-most are located about 900 km northnorth-west of Tahiti. Except for Banaba all islands are coral atolls that do not rise more than 4m above sea level. The islands have porous, sandy , rubbly coral soils. The thinness of the soil layer causes a general paucity of vegetation although in islands of higher rainfall vegetation tends to be more lush. Coconut, breadfruit, papaya, pandanus (and on some islands banana ) are the main tree crops. Cultivation of the land is difficult and requires special techniques, constant attention and water. Oceanography Tides Generally the tides in Kiribati conform to the mid-ocean standard ranges - from about 0.5m at neaps to nearly 2m at springs.
