Geography of the Republic of Togo
The northern part of Togo is a vast, sometimes hilly plain. The central part is located on a plateau that has a height of about 300 meters above sea level. The southern part of the republic is occupied by plains and individual blocky mountains of small height (up to 610 meters). They form chains stretched from southwest to northeast.
Most of the territory is covered by savannahs. Evergreen forests grow in mountainous areas and river valleys. The equatorial jungle occupies only a twentieth of the country. In addition, their area is reduced due to clear-cutting. A common species of woody plants are huge baobabs growing in the savannah.
The Republic of Togo has sufficient mineral reserves. There are deposits of graphite, iron ore, uranium, gold, bauxite and other valuable elements. Despite this, Togo is one of the poorest countries in the world, and there is no economic development.
