To answer this question, let’s examine the key features of the Northern Guinea Savanna, which is a vegetation zone in Nigeria and other parts of West Africa.
Typical features of the Northern Guinea Savanna:
Tall grasses and scattered trees
Fire-resistant trees (due to frequent bush fires)
Thick barked trees (to withstand fire and drought)
Abundant herbivores (grass feeders like antelopes, cattle)
Woody trees are present, but not dominant, trees are often scattered
Option Analysis:
A. Presence of tall trees with thick bark
Correct – Trees develop thick bark to resist fire and water loss.
B. Bare soil with very few trees
Incorrect for Northern Guinea Savanna – This is more typical of the Sahel Savanna, which is drier and has fewer trees.
C. Presence of fire-resistant trees
Correct – A well-known adaptation in this zone.
D. Abundant herbivores
Correct – The grasses support many grazing animals.
E. Predominance of woody trees
Acceptable – Though not a forest, woody vegetation is present, especially in the Guinea (not Sudan or Sahel) savanna.
Correct Answer:
B. Bare soil with very few trees
This describes drier savanna regions like the Sahel, not the Northern Guinea Savanna.
@myschool, please, correct this.
