Description

Cova er en vulkansk caldera i den østcentrale del af øen Santo Antão i Kap Verde. Den ligger i den sydvestlige ende af kommunen Paul. Dens laveste punkt er 1.166 meter, og det højeste punkt på kraterkanten er omkring 1.500 m. Diameteren af calderaen er omkring 1,0 km. Det udgør en del af Cova-Paul-Ribeira da Torre Nationalpark.[2] Cova-formationen stammer fra mellem 1,4 millioner og 700.000 år siden.[3]

Cova-krateret drager fordel af høje nedbørsværdier, der transporteres af passatvinde. I bunden af calderaen dyrkes majs og bønner. Naturlig og seminatur vegetation dækker de nordlige og nordøstlige kratervægge. De sydvendte vægge er dækket af en skov af Pinus og Cupressus arter.[4] Der er en lille landsby i krateret (befolkning 10 ved folketællingen i 2010),[5] som er en del af bosættelsen Cabo da Ribeira.
