Kenya is a country located in eastern Africa. The majority of the country's landforms are part of the East African Rift System, which includes the Great Rift Valley. Other major landforms include mountains, plains, and lakes.
The Great Rift Valley is a long, wide valley that runs through Kenya from north to south. The valley was formed by the movement of tectonic plates thousands of years ago and is still slowly widening today. It is home to many of Kenya's most iconic landmarks, including Mount Kilimanjaro, Lake Turkana, and Lake Nakuru.
Kenya's highlands are located in the central and western parts of the country. They include some of Kenya's highest mountains, such as Mount Kenya and the Aberdares. The highlands are cooler than the low-lying areas because they are higher in elevation. This makes them ideal for agriculture, which is one of Kenya's main economic activities.
The Kenyan coast consists mostly of sandy beaches and coral reefs. The reef system extends over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) along Kenya's coastline and is home to a diverse array of marine life. Popular beach destinations include Diani Beach and Watamu Beach.
