Part of the volcanic chain in the Lesser Antilles arc, Grenada and its possessions generally vary in elevation from under 300 meters to over 600 meters above sea level.<ref name=":02" /> Grenada is more rugged and densely foliated than its outlying possessions, but other geographical conditions are more similar.<ref name=":02" /> Grenada's landmass rises from a narrow, coastal plain in a generally north–south trending axis of ridges and narrow valleys.<ref name=":02" /> [[Mount Saint Catherine (Grenada)|Mount St. Catherine]] is the highest peak at 840 meters.<ref name=":02" />

Although many of the rocks and soils are of volcanic origin, the volcanic cones dotting Grenada are long dormant.<ref name=":02" /> The only known active volcano in the area is [[Kick 'em Jenny]], just north between Grenada and Carriacou.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kick-‘Em-Jenny {{!}} The UWI Seismic Research Centre |url=https://uwiseismic.com/volcanoes/kick-em-jenny/ |access-date=2022-11-20 |website=uwiseismic.com |language=en-GB}}</ref> Some of the drainage features on Grenada remain from its volcanic past.<ref name=":02" /> There are a few crater lakes, the largest of which is Grand Etang.<ref name=":02" /> The swift upper reaches of rivers, which occasionally overflow and cause flooding and landslides, generally cut deeply into the conic slopes.<ref name=":02" /> By contrast, many of the water courses in the lowlands tend to be sluggish and meandering.<ref name=":02" />
