Everything about The Saharan Atlas totally explained
The
Saharan Atlas of
Algeria is the eastern portion of the
Atlas Mountains. Not as tall as the
Grand Atlas of
Morocco they're far more imposing than the
Tell Atlas range that runs closer to the coast. The tallest peak in the range is the 2236 m high
Djebel Aissa.
The Saharan Atlas includes a series of shorter ranges: the
Amour,
Ksour and
Ouled-Naïl Mountains. The Tell Atlas and the Saharan Atlas merge in the east to join together into the
Tébessa and
Medjerda mountains.
The Saharan Atlas is one of the vast plateaus of
Africa, formed of ancient base rock covered by the sediment of shallow seas and alluvial deposits.
Among the rivers of the Atlas, the Saharan Atlas feeds
wadis. Among these are the
Chelif and
Touil wadis, riverbeds that contains water only during wet periods, respectively draining the
Amour and
Ouled-Naïl ranges of the Saharan Atlas.
The Saharan Atlas Mountains mark the northern edge of the
Sahara Desert. The mountains see some rainfall and are better suited to agriculture than the
plateau region to the north. Today most of the population of the region are
Chaoui Berbers. The mountains have also long been home to exiles expelled from the fertile coastal regions.
The Sahara desert is one of the largest in the world.
