AFRICA term papers and essays

Africa, the second largest continent, is the hottest and driest continent. Two-thirds of its area lies within the tropics. There are mountain ranges, fertile river basins, such as the Nile Delta, grassy savannas and the world's largest desert - the Sahara. With over one billion people, Africa is the world's second most populous continent. There are 53 African countries where cultures differ greatly depending on the region. Northern Africa consists of Arab nations where the religion is predominantly Muslim, while sub-Saharan Africa is populated by many different people groups who speak different languages, and have different politics and different economies. Most of Sub-Saharan Africa is known to practice Christianity; however, there are some instances where local religions are still practiced. Sub-Saharan Africa is considered to be the poorest region in the world. Famine, child mortality and AIDs plague the region. Much of the poverty, however, is caused by corrupt governments who exploit and terrorize the people. Tourism in Africa has brought a valuable source of income, as tourists are attracted by the sunny climate, warm beaches and the chance to view or hunt for wild game. Travel in Africa is as safe as travel in other countries as long as war-torn or famine-stricken areas are avoided.
