A Little About Africa...

In an article that I read, it gave a lot of interesting information about Africa as a continent. As the second largest continent, there are many different things that can contribute to Africa's warm temperature. Africa is divided pretty much into two parts. The region of Africa that encounters hot temperatures and a lot of rainfall throughout the year is located near the Equator. The dryer regions of Africa are located closer to the tropics.

Dry climate in Africa

The northern half of Africa tends to be dryer and hotter, while the southern half is more damp and chilly. This is because of the unsymmetrical shape of Africa's northern and southern regions. Since the southern half is narrower than the northern hemisphere, it is affected greater by oceanic factors. 

Farming is affected tremendously in Africa by the climatic factors. It is known to be the most important economic activity in Africa, and two-thirds of Africa's working population works in agriculture.
