Ja·mai·ca jÉ-mÄ kÉ An island country in the Caribbean Sea south of Cuba. Originally inhabited by Arawaks, it was discovered by Columbus in 1494 and settled by the Spanish in 1509. The British captured the island in 1655, and it was formally ceded to Great Britain in 1670, becoming a crown colony in 1865. Jamaica became independent in 1962.

Jamaica is the largest island in the Caribbean after Cuba and Hispaniola. The capital and largest city is Kingston Land and People Although largely a limestone plateau more than 3,000 ft (914 m) above sea level, Jamaica has a mountainous backbone that extends across the island from the west and rises to the Blue Mts. in the east; Blue Mt. (7,402 ft/2,256 m) is the highest point. Rainfall is heavy in this region (where there are extensive timber reserves) but diminishes westward across the plateau, which is a rugged area deeply dissected by streams and underlain by subterranean rivers. The heart of the plateau, known as the Cockpits, is used mostly for livestock grazing. A narrow plain along the northern coast and several larger plains near the south shore are Jamaica's major agricultural zones. The north coast also has fine beaches and is the focus of the tourist industry. The Rio Grande and the Black River are the country's chief waterways, but neither is navigable for long distances. The coastal bands widened by broad river valleys, as well as the mountain slopes, support the bulk of Jamaica's export crops.

Extractions: From: Smithsonian Institution Global Volcanism Program Website, 2003, from Simkin and Siebert, 1994 Of the broad region known as the West Indies , only the Lesser Antilles, an arc of small islands formed by subduction of oceanic crust moving westward from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, are volcanically active. ... The northern islands were discovered by Columbus on his second voyage, in 1493, and other islands on his third in 1498, but they were passed over by settlers preferring the Greater Antilles to the west. It was not until the 1630s and the sugar trade that Europeans started to settle in the islands. On Saba they chose grassy flatlands that were apparently the newly vegetated tops of very recent valley-filling pyroclastic-flow deposits. And on Martinique settlers noticed that was suspiciously bare of vegetation. The first historical eruption, though, was on

Extractions: Until the 1960s, the economy was dependent on sugar production but under Prime Minster Lester B. Bird, Antigua has withdrawn from the sugar industry. In the fisheries sector, Japan has carried out two projects with Antigua, valued at $46 million, to bring the quality of the fish industry in up to the level of the European Union but the government is staking its future principally on service industries suited to e-commerce and the IT age, maximizing on the highly literate and educated English speaking population. "Our schools are producing children each year who are fully computer literate and who have taken to the new digital world like ducks to water," Bird says. "The result of all this is that in the area of international financial services and Web-related activity such as Internet gaming, Antigua provides a well-regulated low cost, and highly competitive center for services to the world." Bird is particularly proud of Antigua's capacity to offer low cost high performance call centers "in an environment of little or no taxation" to international companies. Experts forecast that the call centers will soon become a significant employer of local labor.
