Geography of Madagascar
The west coast, composed of sedimentary
formations deposited in several layers over
time, is more indented than the east coast.
Deep bays and well-protected harbors have
attracted explorers, traders, and pirates from
Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
The area has served as an important bridge
between Madagascar and the outside world.
The southwest
The southwest is bordered on the
east by the Ivakoany Massif and on
the north by the Isala Roiniforme
Massif.
It includes two regions along the
south coast, the Mahafaly Plateau
and the desert region occupied by
the Antandroy people.
Seasons
There are two seasons: a hot rainy
season from November to April and a
cooler dry season from May to October.
Southeastern trade winds predominate,
and the island occasionally experiences
cyclones.
