Introduction to Ethiopia
Ethiopia is dominated by mountain plateaus, most of which are subordinate to the Ethiopian Plateau.

The Great Rift Valley in East Africa runs through the whole territory, with an average elevation of nearly 3, meters, and is known as the "roof of Africa". The terrain around the plateau is gradually declining. The Daluoer depression in the north fell to 113 meters below sea level, the lowest point in the country. The coast of the Red Sea is a long and narrow strip plain. The desert and semi-desert areas in the north, south and northeast account for about 25% of the national area. Dashan Peak in Ximen Mountains is 4,623 meters above sea level, which is the highest peak in Ethiopia.
