(a) On a sketch map of Africa, mark and name:
(i) one area receiving rainfall throughout the year
(ii) one area receiving rainfall in summer only
(iii) one warm ocean current (indicating the direction of flow)
(iv) one cold ocean current (indicating the direction of flow)
(b) (i) Identify the type of nature vegetation found in each of the areas shown on your map
(ii) How has rainfall accounted for the difference in vegetation in the two areas?
(b)(i) The type of vegetation found in:
(1) /Area wi rainfall is throughout the year is equatorial forest
(ii) The type of vegetation found in areas of summer rainfall is savanna grassland
(iii) As a result of continuous rainfall, the vegetation becomes evergreen with tall trees. The trees are of different layers with canopies. But due to rainfall only in summer the trees are deciduous. i.e the trees shed the leaves during the dry season so as to conserve sufficient water. Hence most of the plants found are mainly grasses.
