Physical characteristics

The Congolese territory, with a narrow and elongated shape, extends from the Atlantic coast, mainly low and sandy, towards the NE. The northern part is formed by a wide alluvial plain, the edge of the vast basin of the Congo river ; the central and eastern ones are occupied by plateaus whose altitude is around 400-500 m, but which also rise over 1000 in some sections near the border with Gabon.

The climate is equatorial, with average annual temperatures around 25 ° C and small seasonal temperature variations (3-4 ° C); rainfall ranges from 1300-1400 mm per year on the coast to about 2000 in the innermost parts, while at the same time the duration of the dry season is reduced, almost to zero. The hydrography, with the exception of a small part of the territory, in the SW, which sends its waters directly to the Atlantic, is entirely tributary to the Congo, through the Ubangi, Sangha, Alima and other minor tributaries. The Ubangi and the main river mark the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo for a long stretch. The spontaneous vegetation consists mainly of the rainforest, rich in precious woods, which only in less humid areas gives way to the savannah.
