Jamaica's mountainous terrain


Jamaica is very mountainous because the island is the top of an underwater mountain. East Jamaica is dominated by the Blue mountains. The peak of the blue mountains is about 7401 feet tall. The blue mountains catch the rainfall from moist winds, which feeds all of the lush vegetation on the island. The Blue Mountains are also home to many animal species, including over 200 bird species. These mountains also have large amounts of bauxite that is a main export for jamaica.
