Sudan terrain
Sudan's lands in general are a flat
sedimentary plain that descends slightly from east and west towards the center
and the entire plain descends from south to north, interspersed with heights
covering less than 5% of its total area.
Its terrain varies:
Alluvial plains in the center, like the
plains of the island
Deserts such as the Bayoda Desert, the Nubia Desert, and the Al-Atamur
Desert
Semi-desert in the north
Moist Savannah (rich in weeds) and dried in the center, south-east and
southeast,
A series of twisting hills in the east and north-east, such as the hills
of the Red Sea, the Nuba Mountains in Kordofan and the Ingusena Mountains in
Blue Nile State
Secluded hills in separate areas in the center, such as the Gedaref
hills in the east and Jabal al-Dair in the west,
Volcanic mountains in the far west and east, such as Jebel Marra in Darfur,
the Taka Mountains, Mount Totel in Kassala State and Mount Medop in the
northwestern corner, in addition to a coastal strip on the Red Sea.
The lands of Sudan are divided by
numerous rivers, valleys, creeks and water tributaries, seasonal and permanent,
the most famous of which is the Nile River, which is the most important
geomorphological phenomenon in Sudan, as it extends to about 1700 km from the
south to the north, and the Nile Basin and its tributaries in Sudan cover about
2.5 million hectares. The tributaries of the Nile include:
White Nile
Blue Nile
Atbara
State
Dinder
Peace Sea
The Rahad
Seasonal valleys such as:
Gash River
Khor Toker
Others are dry, such as Wadi Hawar and
Wadi Al Malak, along with a number of ponds, swamps and seasonal creeks that
overflow during the rainy season in the summer. In addition to the six
waterfalls of the Nile that start with the second waterfall in Halfa (the first
waterfall in Aswan, Egypt) and end with the waterfall of Sablouqa, north of
Khartoum.
