What are the major landforms and regions of the Republic of Guinea?

Answer 1

Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually carbonate rock such as limestone or dolomite.[1]

Due to subterranean drainage, there may be very limited surface water, even to the absence of all rivers and lakes. Many karst regions display distinctive surface features, with sinkholes or dolines being the most common. However, distinctive karst surface features may be completely absent where the soluble rock is mantled, such as by glacial debris, or confined by a superimposed non-soluble rock strata. Some karst regions include thousands of caves, even though evidence of caves that are big enough for human exploration is not a required characteristic of karst.

The major landforms in Guinea include the mountainous Fouta Djallon region, the Niger River basin, and coastal plains along the Atlantic Ocean. The country is also known for its savannas and tropical rainforests. Key regions include Conakry (the capital), Boké (known for bauxite mining), and Kankan (a major trading hub).
