web hosting domain names email addresses AFRICA ... LINKS African geography Relief: Africa is bounded N by the Mediterranean Sea, W by the Atlantic Ocean, and E by the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. Its greatest length from N to S is 8,000 km/5,000 mi and its breadth from Cape Verde to Ras Hafun is 7,440 km/4,623 mi. Its area, including Madagascar and the other adjacent islands, is 30,097,000 sq km/11,620,451 sq mi, or three times that of Europe. The coastline is regular, with no deep seas, bays, or river estuaries of any size to afford climatic or commercial advantages; so that in proportion to its size Africa has less coastline than any other continent, its total length being about 25,600 km/15,900 mi. Mountains: The mountains of Africa may be divided into three distinct systems: (1) the Atlas; (2) the west coast; and (3) the east coast. The Atlas Mountains occupy the northern portion between the sea and the Sahara, from Wadi Daa to Cape Bon. The eastern Atlas , 1,830-2,440 m/6,000-8,000 ft high, consist of two parallel ranges enclosing a plateau where salt lakes called chotts are found. The western Atlas , known as the Great Atlas of Morocco, have an average elevation of 3,050 m/10,000 ft, and the highest peaks are over 4,275 m/14,025 ft.

ABOUT MADAGASCAR introduction climate geography history ... birds The Geography Of Madagascar Africa and Asia in a nutshell Madagascar measures 587,040 square kilometres (1.580 km of north to the south and 580 km east to west). The coastline measures 4.828 km. The diversity of the climate is mirrored in that of the landscape : Amazonian in the Betsiboka delta, Saharan in the west, Swiss in the high plateau's of the centre and west-American in the south. From mid-September through October, the jacaranda trees are in bloom, baby lemurs are being born, and the heavy downpours that make overland travel tough have not yet started. Geographical regions The island can be divided into five geographical regions: the east coast, the Tsaratanana Massif, the central highlands, the west coast, and the southwest. A central mountainous plateau with a temperate climate dominates the island of Madagascar. Partly volcanic in origin, the uplands rise to 2876 m (9436 ft) atop Maromokotro. The highest elevations parallel the east coast, whereas the land slopes more gradually to the west coast. introduction climate geography history ... birds

76. Deforestation In Madagascar Defining and Explaining Tropical Deforestation Shifting Cultivation and Population Growth In Colonial madagascar. Economic geography. October 1993. v69n4. http://www.american.edu/ted/MADAGAS.HTM

Deforestation in Madagascar(MADAGAS) An Analysis Case Number: 375 Case Mnemonic: MADAGAS Case Name: Deforestation in Madagascar A. IDENTIFICATION 1. The Issue 2. Description Since 1896 when Madagascar gain became a French colony, the Malagasy forests have been rapidly depleting. Logging has occurred for shifting cultivation, grazing, fuel wood gathering, logging, economic development, cattle ranching, and mining (Economic Geography, 1993). Prior to 1950 most deforestation that occurred was done by farmers on a very small scale, however, deforestation since 1950 has increased tremendously. From 1950 to 1985, one half of Madagascar's forests disappeared. In 1985 only 34% of the original forests existing in Madagascar remained. Much of this destruction is for economic reasons; values which many westerners cannot agree. With a per capita national product in 1994 equal to $740.00 and population rate of 3%, the island nation is left as one of the poorest nations in the world. Unfortunately, due to the hardship in Madagascar, citizens often resort to exploitation of their natural resources to find income. The people of Madagascar are attempting to survive and conservation of biological diversity is not a priority. In addition, corporations have significant influence in dealing with the problem of deforestation because the government of Madagascar wants their investment. Due to the extreme debt incurred by the Malagasy government, the country is exploiting its wood resources to pay off money owed to northern countries.
