| This feature is characterized by wide, shallow valleys strewn with granite blocks. It is the burial site of the Asseler Man, and the site of a series of mosques that all run north to south and have multiple aisles parallel to the qibla. | Adrar del Ifoghas | 100%

| Part of this feature formed when Africa collided with North America and created what are now the Fall Line Escarpment and Appalachian Mountains in the Eastern USA. The larger part formed when Africa collided with Europe and uplifted this feature along with the Alps and Pyrenees. This mysterious feature is bigger than expected when the crust is not particularly thick or shortened. Anomalies in the mantle are suspected. | Atlas Mountains | 100%

| Contains the tomb of Tin Hanan, a fugitive princess whose caravan became the first Tuaregs, and whose existence was thought to be a legend until the tomb was found. This feature's tallest peaks have been eroded down to the igneous rock that used to plug the volcanos. It also had some of the last holdouts of the Northwest African Cheetah, which can survive drinking only blood and no water. | Hoggar Mountains | 100%
|
| The remnants of a gigantic paleolake, housed in a rift basin with normal faults on both sides and a graben in the middle. Critically threatened by climate change | Lake Chad | 100%

|
| A recently active volcanic area with sulfurous fumaroles, hot springs, and mud pools. Surrounded by plateaus created by old lava flows. Water collects in this relatively cooler area, and flows to Lake Chad through rivers (though evaporation is an issue) and underground aquifers. The soil alternates between sand/gravel and silt/clay, indicating that the climate alternates between dry (little erosion) and wet (water erosion). | Tibesti Mountains | 0%
