🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

Second-largest continent: Africa is recognized as the second-largest continent on Earth in terms of land area, covering approximately 30 million square kilometers. It is also home to a population exceeding 1.4 billion people, making it a highly populous and expansive region.

Equator: The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Africa mainly lies in the Eastern Hemisphere and straddles this line, meaning parts of the continent are located both north and south of the Equator, contributing to its diverse climates and ecosystems.

Sahara Desert: The Sahara Desert is a vast desert region within Africa, characterized by its arid environment and extreme temperatures. It is one of the most prominent desert landscapes on the continent, influencing the climate and habitation patterns in surrounding regions.

Tropical rainforests: These are dense, lush forests located primarily in the Congo Basin within Africa. They are characterized by high rainfall and biodiversity, forming a crucial part of the continent’s ecological diversity.
