Ethiopia occupies an area of 1,104,300 square kilometers (426,372.61 sq mi). This makes it larger than Mauritania but smaller than South Africa. Its physical geography is diverse from deserts in the east to tropical forests in the south. The eastern region is characteristically hotter with the Danakil Depression.

PHYSICAL MAP

Ethiopia Physical Map

Ethiopia is part of the geologically active East African Rift Valley, splitting Africa into two pieces. This also means that the area is prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. At about 4,550 meters (14,930 ft), Ethiopia’s highest point is Ras Dejen.

On the other hand, the Danakil Depression is at the lowest elevation. This point is a geological depression resulting from 3 divergent tectonic plates in the Horn of Africa.
