African Climate and

Geography

Tropical rainforest found particularly in the centre of the continent and also
along the eastern coast of Madagascar.

Mediterranean mostly on the northwest (Mediterranean) coast and in the

southeast

Savannah found to the north and south where it replaces the rain forest.
There are distinct wet and dry seasons.

Steppe away from the Equator, to the north and south, the savannah grades
into drier steppe.

Desert here there is little rainfall and wide differences between day and
night temperatures. The Sahara in the north is the worlds largest desert (only
three countries have a greater area Russia, Canada and China). The Kalahari
in southern Africa covers an area larger than France.

Highland largely found in the east, below the Horn of Africa.

Marine largely in the southeast.
