    African peoples developed diverse societies as they adapted to varied environments. Africa includes a broad range of Earth’s environments—from steamy coastal plains to snow-capped mountain peaks. Some parts of Africa suffer from constant drought, while others receive over 200 inches of rain a year. Vegetation varies from sand dunes and rocky wastes to dense green rain forests. Interaction with the African environment has created unique cultures and societies. Each group found ways to adapt to the land and the resources it offers.

    environments. Africa includes a broad range of Earths environmentsfrom steamy coastal
    plains to snow-capped mountain peaks. Some parts of Africa suffer from constant drought, while
    others receive over 200 inches of rain a year. Vegetation varies from sand dunes and rocky
    wastes to dense green rain forests. Interaction with the African environ- ment has created
    unique cultures and societies. Each group found ways to adapt to the land and the resources it
