1.      Africa runs 5 000 miles from the Mediterranean sea all the way down to the cape of good hope in Southafrica and 4 600 miles from the cape Verde all the way over to Senegal.

2.      Biomes are climate zones and throughout that area, throughout that area throughout that climate zones, you can see the same average temperature and average precipitations what that means is that you also see very similar fauna and vegetation living in that region.

3.      The most famous desert in Africa is, of course, the Sahara desert. Now, some parts of the Sahara desert are sandy, like you can see here. Other parts of the Sahara desert are rocky but in either case, the fact that it is very dry  is going to make it a very difficult period to cross.

4.      It is not the rain itself that’s particularly important, it’s also the environment diversity. There are many different plants and animals specie. That can be found in the rain forests and that’s one of the thing that makes the rain forest so valuable not just in Africa but throughout the Earth.

5.      The Nile is the most famous river in Africa, because is the longest river in the world. But there is also the Congo which is the ninth longest river in the world.

6.      Africa actually has its own version of the great lakes with famous lakes like Lake Malawi, lake Kivu and lake Tanganyika.

7.      All the Africa is a plateau. Meaning that Africa itself is an elevated land. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find any mountains in Africa. You can find mountain ranges like, for example, the Atlas mountains in northwestern Africa.

8.      Africa also has some interesting mountains like the Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa which seems to just rise on it own out of the ground.

9.      The Great Rift Valley refers to a region of Africa that is  literally, being split apart. There are some tectonic plates that are located within or near Africa, that are, actually, moving away from each other, and what’s doing is creating not just some of the highest elevations in Africa, but also lakes like tanganyika that is among the deepest in the world.
