Land and Resources
The heart of Ethiopia is a high tableland, known as the
Ethiopian Plateau, covering more than one-half the total area of the
country. The plateau is split diagonally in a northeastern to southwestern
direction by the Great Rift Valley. Although the average elevation of the
plateau is about 1675 m (about 5500 ft), it is cut by many rivers and deep
valleys, some of which are 610 m (2000 ft) below the level of the plateau.
The area is capped by mountains, the highest of which is Ras Dashen (4620
m/15,157 ft). These heights and indentations occur in northern Ethiopia, in
the region surrounding Lake T'ana (the lake in which the Blue Nile rises).
The northeastern edges of the plateau are marked by steep escarpments, which
drop some 1220 m (about 4000 ft) or more to the sunbaked coastal plain and
the Denakil Desert. Along the western fringe the plateau descends less
abruptly to the desert of Sudan. Along the southern and southwestern limits,
the plateau lowers toward Lake Turkana (formerly called Lake Rudolf).
