Abstract

We give an outline of the topographic features of the Main Ethiopian Rift and the Afar Triangle as well as of the Ethiopian Highlands. We highlight the role played by the active tectonics and young volcanism which have largely determined the appearance and morphological diversity of contemporary landscapes of Ethiopia. A brief description of several unique natural sites is provided.
