deserts, plains, rain forests, mountains, hills and
ocean coastlines.
The plains of the country stretch inwards from the Gulf

from the coastlines, has a typical rain forest type of
climate.
The western end of the country is marked with trees,
rivers and mountains which go all the way to Lake Chad

The area between the Adamawa and Lake Chad is occupied
by the Savanna Plains.
