Climate and Vegetation: Chapter 2 Ms Kast This chapter talks about the climate and vegetation of the continent of Africa.  It discusses factors that influence climate and what type of vegetation grows in  Africa. It also discusses different geographic regions in Africa- such as rain  forests, savannas and deserts,
Definitions Irrigate: To water crops from an artificial source (not rain)  Verb Oasis: A part of the desert  that is green and lush,  unlike the rest of the desert.  Noun
Definitions continued Savanna: An area of tall grassland-  usually in a tropical region. Contains grass, low growing bushes and some trees that are resistant to drought.  Noun  Nomad: A person who moves from place to place without a permanent home. Usually is searching for food either by trade or by hunting and  Gathering.  noun
Identifications The   Sahel  is a savanna that is located on the southern border of the Sahara desert in northern Africa. It does not receive much rain (only 4-8inches of rain a year!),  so only small bushes, grass and a few trees are able to grow there.  This is important because it makes the Sahel a difficult region to live in-  it is difficult  to grow crops or raise animals because it is so hot and dry.  One of the reasons  why poverty exists in parts of Africa today is because of these geographic barriers.
Identifications continued… The  Namib Desert  is a desert located in Southern Africa in what is today the country of Namibia. Like most deserts, it is very difficult for vegetation to grow in the Namib desert. One journalist who traveled to the Namib desert described that “there was sand everywhere, an impossible amount of sand covering thousands of square miles and heaping into dunes ad high as 1,200 feet.” Similar to the Sahel, this hot and dry geography makes it difficult for people to live in the Namib desert.
Identifications The  Kalahari Desert  is also located in Southern Africa, in parts of what is today called Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. Similar to the Namib desert, the Kalahari only contains rocks, sand dunes and a few small areas of bushes and grass. It is very difficult to grow other plants here, which makes it a difficult place to live. The fact that there are many places on the continent of Africa that are so challenging to live in influences the amount of poverty we see on the continent today.
