Topography
Ethiopia
the geography in Ethiopia is either lowlands or highlands. The Great Rift Valley cuts from the southeast highlands to the northwest highlands. There are several large lakes in the southeast and Lake Tana in the northern highlands which feed the Blue Nile River that flows through the Simien Mountains. To the east there are deserts, the Danakil Depression and Erta Ale Volcano. Most people live in the Great Rift Valley in their capital city Addis Ababa because you can get an education and medical help. Ethiopia has had some border issues in the past like a war with Eritrea over their independence and it resulted in Ethiopia becoming landlocked. Geographic, National . Map of Ethiopia.
