ʻO Madagascar kekahi o nā mokupuni nui loa o ka honua nei. Manaʻo kekahi poʻeʻepekema i ka mamao o ka wā kahiko he'āina'āina nui kēia'āina. ʻO ka hapa waena o ka mokupuni, e noho ana ma kahi o ke kolu o ka'āina a pau, he mauna. Ua hoʻokumuʻia nā kuahiwi o Madagaskar no ka hana mau i loko o ka lepo o ka honua, aʻo nā pōhaku kūmole me nā metamorphic: nā'alele, nā kui, nā pōhaku. No muli o ka hikiʻana i nā wahi o nā'āpana he nui: mica, graphite, alakaʻi, nickel, chromium. Maanei hiki ke loaʻa iāʻoe ke gula a me nā pōhaku maʻamau: amethysts, tourmaline, emeralds, etc.
ʻO nā mauna a me nā lua pele o Madagascar
Ua uhaʻi nā hana o Tectonic i ka High Plateau a pau i nā pae mauna. I kēia mau lā, he nui nā uku o nā mauna o Madagaskar no ka poʻe o nā mauna:
- Aia ma nā Kuahiwi Nui ka mauna o Ankaratra , kahi kiʻekiʻe loa ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 2643 m.
- ʻO ka massive granite Andringretra kahi i loko o kekahi o nā mākele'āina o Madagascar . ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe loa -ʻo ka piko o Bobby - holo i kahi kiʻekiʻe o 3658 m.ʻO nā mauna i kekahi wahi palekana a me nā pōhaku he nui a me nā piʻi, he mau lua pele pū kekahi. Eia ka Puʻupuʻu Nui kaulana,ʻo ia ka mea i hōʻike maoli i kēia pane.
- ʻO kekahi wahi hoʻokipa no nā mākaʻikaʻi ma Madagascarʻo nā mauna Palani . Aia lākou ma kaʻaoʻao hikina o ka mokupuni, kokoke i ke kūlanakauhaleʻo Antsiranana (Diego-Suarez). ʻO kēia mau puʻu, he mau pōhaku, he kaha pōhaku a me nā canyons. Hoʻopiliʻia ma kahi o 2400 km, ua uhiʻia nā kuahiwi i nā ulu lāʻau nui me nāʻano ulu likeʻole, kahi e ola ai nā holoholona likeʻole. Hāʻawiʻia kēia i ka hoʻomehana honua maʻamau o kēia wahi. Eia kekahi laʻana,ʻo kēia mau mauna ma Madagaskar ka mea iʻikeʻia ma mua o nāʻano likeʻole heʻumi o nā baobabs.
He nui nā malihini kipa e hoʻolālā e kipa i ka mokupuni e noʻonoʻo i ka nīnau inā he mau lua pele maʻamau i Madagascar. 'Ōlelo nā poʻe noho i kēia manawaʻo nā mea kiʻekiʻe loa ma ka mokupuni he mau mauna ia, nā mea i hala i hala aku nei he mau lua pele.
ʻO ka mea kiʻekiʻe loa i waena o kēia mau kānaka moe nui,ʻo ia ka lua peleʻo Marumukutra ma ka mokuʻo Madagascar. Kapaʻia kona inoa me he "ulu lāʻau lāʻau." ʻO ke kiekie o ka mauna kiʻekiʻe loa o Madagascar, aia ma ka mauna maunaʻo Tsaratanan -ʻoi aku i ka 2800 m. I ka manawa he lua pele ia, akā, ua pau ia aʻaʻole e waiho i ka pilikia no ka poʻe malihini e hele mai maʻaneʻi e mahalo i keʻano.
