Around Africa!

There are 53 countries in Africa !2nd Largest Continent: Africa is the second largest continent in the world. (Asia is the largest.)Africa is an amazing country! You would enjoy going there for your holiday and trying different foods.

Information about AfricaRivers: Africa has five huge river systems. The big three, in order of size, are the Nile, the Congo, and the Niger.

Landforms:

Africa has rainforests, grasslands, and is home to the largest desert in the world, the Sahara. Africa does have a few mountain ranges, like the Atlas Mountains in the north. These are good size mountains, but they would appear to be hills if you put them next to the Alps or the Himalayas.

FIVE random facts about Africa!Africa is the second largest continent of the world.The current population of Africa is nearly 1 billion people. Due to rapid population growth in the continent over the last 40 years, its general population is relatively young.In many African states more than half of the population Is under the age of 25!Africa is the most centrally located of all of the continents with both prime, meridian [0 degrees longitude ] and they equator [0 degrees latitude ] passing through.The region of Africa is often called sub-Saharan . The most Islamic countries of north Africa, western Saharan Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia , Libya and Egypt. Sub-Saharan Africa includes 42 nations on mainland Africa and the six island nations.

AFRICAN music!!African music is amazing.It is so exciting to learn but very tiring.Wow !!!

The Nile riverThe ancient Egyptians enjoyed many natural barriers. There were deserts to the east and west of the Nile River, and mountains to the south. This isolated the ancient Egyptians and allowed them to develop a truly distinctive culture. The Nile is the world's longest river. It is over 4000 miles long! It is shaped like the lotus flower so often seen in ancient Egyptian art. Each spring, water would run off the mountains and the Nile would flood.

AnimalsWhen most people think of African animals, the animals of the Savannah are the ones that come to mind. Lions, giraffes, leopards, elephants and rhinoceroses all live on the grasslands. Savannah animals have to be on a constant search for water, especially during the dry season. The savannah is where people go on a safari to see the wild animals in Africa.
