What are major landforms in Guyana?
Most of Guyana is tropical rainforest and savanna (grassy plains), with some mountainous areas, many of the mountains in the form of "tepuis" or table-top mountains. Most of the indigenous Amerindian peoples live there. The majority of the people in Guyana live on the coastal plains, a thin strip of flat land on the Atlantic coast, much of which is under sea-level and is protected by a sea-wall. This is where the sugar and rice plantations are found. The name "Guyana" comes from an Amerindian word meaning "Land of Many Waters", as there are many rivers in Guyana, such as the Essequibo, the Demerara, the Potaro, the Pomeroon, the Berbice.
Where did the name Guyana come from?
The indigenous people of Guyana are the various Amerindian tribes, such as Caribs, Arawaks, Macushi, Wai-Wai, Wapishana, Warao and others. Later, Guyana was settled by Europeans, such as Portuguese, some Spanish, Dutch and British, and also some Chinese people. The Europeans brought over African slaves, and then Indians. Guyana is known as the "Land of Six Peoples" due to the mix of Amerindians, Portuguese, Europeans (mostly British), Africans, Indians, and Chinese. About 51% are identified as Indo-Guyanese, about 38% as Afro-Guyanese. Over the years, there have been many examples of inter-marriage between the ethnic groups, so many Guyanese are of mixed ethnicity.
