2. Biomes are climate zones and throughout that area, throughout that zones, you can see the same average temperature and average precipitations 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 barrier to cross.

4. It is not the rain itself that’s particularly important, it’s also the biodiversity. There are many different fauna and vegetation. That can be found in the the rain forest 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 largest river in the world. But there is also the Congo river which is the ninth longest river in the world.

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.
