Geography Mauritius and Rodrigues are part of the Mascarene Islands, a chain of volcanic islands that include Reunion, the nation's nearest neighbor at 145 kilometers to the southwest and governed as an overseas territory ( département ) of France. The islands are perched on submarine ridges, including the Mascarene Plateau that runs for some 3,000 kilometers in an arc bowed outward from the African mainland, and the Rodrigues Fracture Zone that ripples eastward and connects this underwater plateau with the massive Mid-Indian Ridge. Lowland plains and gently undulating slopes cover about 46 percent of the total land area. Low-lying plains make up most of the Pamplemousses, Rivière du Rempart, and Flacq districts; southern Grand Port District; the heavily populated northwestern section of Plaines Wilhems District from Beau Bassin to Quatre Bornes and to the sea; and smaller areas around Chemin Grenier. These areas are planted with sugarcane and mixed vegetable crops. The districts of Port Louis and Black River and the more hilly interior plains leading up to the tableland support tea, rice, and sugarcane cultivation and include areas of savanna and scrub forest. The central tableland covers about a quarter of the island. A large plateau spans most of the districts of Moka, eastern Plaines Wilhems, and western Grand Port, where mostly sugarcane and vegetables are harvested, except around Curepipe and Vacoas, where tea is grown. The southern part of the tablelandin the districts of Black River, Savanne, and southern Plaines Wilhems is much smaller and heavily dissected with a diverse topography. It contains tea and forest plantations, including reserves of indigenous trees.

Goverment of Mauritius Home Mauritius is situated in the south-west of the Indian Ocean, 2000 km from the east coast of Africa between latitudes 19°50 and 20° south and longitudes 57°18 and 57°48 east. It is of volcanic origin and has been formed millions of years ago following two series of volcanic eruptions, separated by a long period of erosion. Volcanic activity has, however, completely ceased in Mauritius. The island has an area of 1,864 sq. km and is almost entirely surrounded by coral reefs. Within these reefs are peaceful lagoons, ringed by smooth beaches of white coral sand. There is a break in the coral reef only in the south where part of the coast is steep and rocky. The island rises from the coastal plain to a central plateau where it reaches a height of 670 metres. The plateau is bordered by three mountain ranges: in the east by the Grand Port range, in the south-west by the Black River range and in the north-west by the Moka range. The highest mountain is the Piton de la Rivière Noire (826 metres) followed by the Pieter Both (818 metres), the Pouce (811 metres) and the Montagne du Rempart (772 metres).
