The country is mostly broken down into two land use categories. First, Angola is a major exporter of agricultural products such as coffee, maize, and tobacco. This is because the climate and fertile soils give Angola the ideal conditions for agriculture. Secondly, forests cover a bit less than 20% of Angola, which includes tropical rainforests in the Cabinda province.

Unlike other dry and arid countries where the desert covers vast swaths of land, deserts lie in just a minor region of Angola. Specifically, the Moçâmedes Desert is in the southwest of Angola at the northern tip of the Namib Desert.

Angola is characterized by three distinct regions. First, the coastal lowlands are located in the western region along the South Atlantic Ocean. Next, it transitions to hills, and mountains eastward. Finally, the eastern region is mostly a high plateau, namely the Bié Plateau.

At 2,620 meters (8,600 ft), Mount Moco is the highest mountain in the western part of Angola. Another mountain chain is the Crystal Mountains which spans all the way into the Congo and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
