Editing Apure (section)

=== Terrain ===
It is almost entirely flat, with extensive plains from the convergence of the Apure, Arauca, and Capanaparo Rivers with the Orinoco to the foothills of the Andes.  With little unevenness of terrain, the altitude fluctuates between 40 and 200 meters above sea level.  

The Apurean llanos feature several important physiographic events, generated by the type of soil, climate, and its hydrological pattern.  Protruding between them are zones of dunes, delta plains, and such features as shoals, banks, and estuaries, which are very prone to floods during the rainy season.  Furthermore, in the west of the territory, one finds foothills and mountains with altitudes of greater than 3&nbsp;km, in a portion of the [[Cordillera Oriental (Colombia)|Cordillera Oriental]] [[Andes|Andina]] (Eastern Andean Range) that borders [[Táchira (state)|Estado Táchira]].
