• Location: Straddles the equator (almost cutting it in half) making much of it in the tropics; two major oceans; center of trade (changed due to Suez Canal)

• Regions: book says north, west, east, central and south:
• North Africa – most closely associated
with Middle East
• Sub-Sahara – south of the Sahara,
HIV/AIDS a huge problem
• West Africa

Landforms
• Plateaus: most of the continent is a series of these; 367 ft vs. 7,000 ft
• escarpments (steep cliffs) formed by rivers cutting through;
• Great Rift Valley: giant fault in eastern part of the continent p. 61

Rivers
• Hydroelectric Power – energy created by moving water; important resource
• The Nile: 4,000 miles making it longest in the world; earliest civilizations; Aswan Dam created Lake Nasser to help with flood issues and power.
• • Other Key Rivers: Congo, Niger, Zambezi

Natural Resources
• Mineral Exports: diamonds –where?, copper, oil in the Sahara, etc.
• Uneven Distribution: some have much, some have little
