Key ideas
Relief describes the shape and height of the land. Cameroon includes coastal lowlands, the Western Highlands, the Adamawa Plateau, plains and mountains. Mount Cameroon is the country’s highest mountain.
Activities
1. Match: Mount Cameroon—mountain; Adamawa—plateau; coastal area near Douala—lowland. 2. Explain one difference between a mountain and a plain. 3. State one way relief can affect farming, roads or settlement.
Answer guide
A mountain rises steeply and reaches a high elevation; a plain is a broad area of relatively level or gently rolling land. Effects may include temperature, crops, road construction, water flow or where people build.
