Introduction of Rwanda

  Introduction to Rwanda:  Rwanda is the country I have chosen to learn about during my course in geology. It is located in Central Africa with Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo bordering it. Rwanda is known as the "land of a thousand hills," conducive to its mountainous terrain. The country's highest peak, Karisimbi, reaches nearly 15,000 ft among the Virunga Mountains, and at its lowest point sits the Rusizi River between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. As of 2024, Rwanda houses a population of 14,094,683 people which is steadily increasing at around 2% annually.  https://www.worldatlas.com/maps/rwanda https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/rwanda-population/#:~:text=Rwanda%202023%20population%20is%20estimated,(and%20dependencies)%20by%20population. https://www.britannica.com/place/Ruzizi-River https://kids.nationalgeogr aphic.com/ge ography/countries/article/rwanda#:~:text=Known%20as%20the%20“land%20of,the%20Congo%2C%20
