FIND THE MISSING WORDS

  1. Africa runs 5 000 miles from the Mediterranean sea all the way down to cape of good hope in south africa and 4 600 miles from cape verde all the way over to somalia
  2. Biomes are climate zones and throughout that area throughout that region you can see the same average temperature and average precipitation what that means is that you also see very similar plants and animals 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 varied to cross.
  4. It is not the rain itself that’s particularly important, it’s also the varied diversity There are many different plants and animal species That can be found in the rain forest and that’s one of the thing that makes the rain forest so valued not just in Africa but throughout the Earth.
  5. The Nile river is the most famous river in Africa, because is the longest river in the world. But there is also the congo river which is the 9th longest river in the world.
  6. Africa actually has its own version of the great lakes with famous lakes like Lake Malawi, lake Victoria 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 in northwestern Africa.
  8. Africa also has some interesting mountains like mount kilimanjaro the highest pick 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 plaques 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 Lake Tangayika  that is among the deepest in the world.
