The geographical environment of Mount Ted

Mount Ted is a volcano in the central part of Tenerife Island in the Canary Islands of Spain. Tenerife (Spanish: Tenerife) is the largest of the seven islands in the Canary Islands near the coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean.

Located at 2819 N and16 34 W, it covers an area of 2,034 square kilometers. Like other islands in the Canary Islands, it is also formed by volcanoes. Tede (37 18 m), the highest point in Spain, is on this island. Geographically, this island belongs to Africa (in the west of Morocco, a western country in North Africa); Legally speaking, this island is an overseas autonomous territory of Spain. There is the highest mountain in Spain (El Teide), the Tede volcano, which is 37 18 meters high. This makes the island's scenery and ecology very rich, from beaches to snow-capped mountains, from tree-lined to desert rocks.

Ted Peak has a crater about 80 meters (260 feet) in diameter, and hot air is ejected from the crater and vents on the slope. The last eruption of Mount Eltede was in 1789, and it was ejected from the Lasner Las Narices del Teide area on the southern slope of the mountain. Mount Elted overlooks Ted National Park (built in 1954, covering the whole island chain), and was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2007. The International Solar System Observatory is located in Izana, about 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) northeast of the park. Mount Ted, which is 3,700 meters above sea level on Tenerife Island, has now become a landmark for African-American illegal immigrants. Whenever these ragged immigrants go through all kinds of hardships to see the highest mountain in Spain, they are usually filled with joy because they have arrived in Europe.
