fiogf49gjkf0d GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
--------------------
DOMINICA IS SITUATED IN THE LESSER ANTILLES IN THE
CARIBBEAN SEA AND LOCATED BETWEEN GUADELOUPE AND
MARTINIQUE. TO THE EAST LIES THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. THE WHOLE
COUNTRY COVERS AN AREA OF APPROXIMATELY 750 SQ KM.
THIS ISLAND IS OF VOLCANIC ORIGIN AND THEREFORE IS
MOUNTAINOUS. A HIGH FORESTED AREA RUNS FROM THE NORTH TO
SOUTH AND ENDS IN THE MORNE DIABLOTIN AT 1447M. THIS IS
DIVIDED IN THE CENTER BY A LARGE PLAIN DRAINED BY RIVER
LAYOU FLOWING WESTWARD AND FLOWING EAST THE PAGUA AND THE
CASTLE BRUCE RIVERS.
THE VOLCANOES OF DOMINICA ARE MORE THAN LIKELY EXTINCT, BUT
IN THE SOUTH BOILING LAKE AND THERMAL SPRINGS ARE A FEATURE
OF VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.
