This is a web application to visualize the mountains of Africa.
This README summarizes key information related to African mountains and their visualization within the context of an interactive map project.
## Project Overview
This project aims to create a web-based, interactive map of African mountains using Leaflet.js, HTML, TailwindCSS, and JavaScript. The map will specifically highlight mountains with visual cues related to their height and define conceptual "cluster boundaries" around each peak.
## Focus on Africa
Africa is a continent of diverse landscapes, featuring a range of mountain types from towering volcanoes to ancient, eroded ranges. The distribution and formation of these mountains are largely influenced by the continent's complex geological history, particularly the ongoing processes of the East African Rift System.
