GEOGRAPHY OF AFRICA

A Program for High School Social Studies

This programmed study of basic geography was created by Project

Africa, a social studies curriculum research and development project

established at Carnegie-Mellon University (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)

pursuant to a contract with the United States Department of Health,

Education and Welfare, Office of Education.

This material was designed by Burton Witthuhn, Assistant Professor

of Geography, The Ohio State University; David Meyer, Social Studies

Chairman, Belvidere (Illinois) Junior High School; and Barry K. Beyer,

Assistant Professor of History and Director of Project Africa, Carnegie-

Mellon University. It is intended to serve as an independent study aid

for students who wish, to understand basic geographic principles of

location, seasons and climate, especially as they apply to Africa.

This program has not been tested with students. However, the

appended maps have been tested and incorporated into other parts of

a sixteen-week, junior high school program of study on Africa south

of the Sahara, also available from the ERIC Document Reproduction

Service (see catalogue).

Question 11Answer A.

t5 94.!, ,c5.-5 ;

42

The term rotation refers to the spinning of the earth about itsaxis. The earth rotates once every twenty-four hours. Thus,

each day is divided into 24 hours. Since the earth is tilted at23k0, some locations may receive more than 12 hours of sunlightor no sunlight at all as the earth revolves around the sun.Although the earth always has half of its surface exposed to sun-light, the differing periods of sunlight are caused by the revolutionof the earth about the sun in connection with the tilt of theearth's axis.

Question 11Answer B

The term revolution is correct. As the earth revolvesaround the sun, the unchanging tilt of the earth axis causesdiffering amounts of daylight to occur at differing latitudes.

LATITUDE - CLIMATE AND RELIEF

Climate is often described in terms of temperature and rainfall. Two

factors directly related to the temperature and rainfall pattern of any

area are:1. the directness of the sun's rays

2. the number of hours of daylight.

The next several questions will look at these relationships as they

apply to Africa.

Question 15.

Information on average monthly temperatures is available for

many places in Africa. Kisangani, the Congo, located at

0°N, 25 E has average monthly temperatures of:

MonthsJFMAMJJASOND Average Annual

79 79 79 78 78 76 76 77 77 77 77 77 78

The highest average monthly temperature is 79 (Jan, Feb, March).

The lowest monthly temperature is 76 (4une, July).

The range (difference between highest and lowest) is 3 °F

The 3° range in Kisangani average monthly temperatures is

probably a result of:

Question 15Answer A

Latitude is correct. Locations near the equator show littledifference between the highest and lowest temperatures because

the sun is never far from being directly overhead.Go to question 16, Page 57.

Question 19Answer C

Nairobi, Kenya (10S, 37°E) is located nearest to the equator.

Nairobi can be observed to have the smallest range of averagemonthly temperatures of the three given locations. However, to

identify the Tropic of Capricorn, it is necessary to considerwhen the direct rays of the sun are overhead. Since temperatures

are controlled by the direct rays of the sun, average monthlytemperatures provide a clue for identifying the Tropic of Capricorn.

The rainy season for Addis Ababa (page 91) begins before the rainyseason for Khartoum because:

A. Addis Ababa is cooler and has a smaller range of temperatures.Go to page 95.

B. Addis Ababa is in the opposite hemisphere.Go to page 96.

C. Addis Ababa is closer to the equator than Khartoum.Go to page 97.

Page 98: ERIC R EPRODUCTION RELEASE? YES R I EMAR 7 QV iLatitude alone gives information only about distances north and south of the equator. The prime meridian is a line selected to help us

Question 25Answer A

95

With evpry 1000 feet increase in elevation the temperature of the

air drops about 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus, Addis Ababa at an

elevation of 8000 feet will have cooler temperatures than Khartoum

which is at 1200 feet above sea level if no other factors are

considered. However, the latitude and smaller range in monthly

temperatures show Addis Ababa to be closer to the equator than

Khartoum. Since the shift in rainy seasons follows the cycle of

high sun position, Addis Ababa being closer to the equator than

Khartoum, will have an earlier rainy season.

Note the months of highest sun position for the Tropic of Cancer,

the equator, and the Tropic of Capricorn.

Dec. March June Sept. Dec.

Tropic of Cancer (233/4°N) X

Equator (0°) X X

Tropic of Capricorn (233 °S) X X

If the higher temperatures generally occur at the time of the

highest sun, and if the rainy season follows the month of

highest temperatures, a city located nearer to the equator will

have an earlier rainy season than one nearer to the tropics.

Question 25Answer B

Look again at the locations of Addis Ababa and Khartoum. They

are both on the same side of the equator. Therefore, they are

in the same hemisphere.

Question 25Answer C

Correct. Addis Ababa has its highest temperatures duringMay when the sun's rays are directly overhead for the firsttime. Note, the sun's direct rays will be over Addis Ababaagain in July as the earth continues its revolution aroundthe sun. However, due to the cooling effects of the rainyseason, the monthly temperatures do not clearly show thissecond period of direct overhead sun. The start of theheavy rains comes in June following the period of directoverhead sun. Khartoum, farther to the north has its highesttemperatures about one month later - June. Consequentlythe season of heaviest rains follow in the month of July.

Question 26.

Points to remember:

1. During the course of a year, the position of the sun relative

to the earth does change. In March and September the rays of the sun

are most directly overhead at the equator. In December and June the

noon sun is most directly over the Tropics of Capricorn and Cancer

respectively.

2. As the rays of the noon sun become more directly overhead,

the average monthly temperature rises.

3. Following the month of highest average temperatures in tropical

Africa, the period of heaviest rain occurs.

Therefore, cities located on the equator:

A. should have a pattern of rainfall opposite that of cities

in the Southern Hemisphere.Go to page 99.

B. should have two wet and two dry seasons.Go to page 100.

C. should have some rainfall throughout all months of the year.

Question 28Answer A

Yes, as the sun moves from the Tropic of Cancer tothe Tropic of Capricorn and back again, the equatoris constantly in the path of weather systems producingsome rainfall. As a result of this, we find thatareas near to the equator have rainfall throughout theyear. However, areas near the equator may also showtwo periods of heavier than average rainfall. ForKisangani these "peaks" of rainfall occur in Octoberand March.

The use of a line graph for showing average month to month

temperatures is the correct choice. The line graph permits

us to view the trend in temperature changes. Since a bar

Question 39Answer A

All places along the equator have the same latitude (00).If different dlimates exist (Map 7), latitude cannot be the causeof such variation.

Page 145: ERIC R EPRODUCTION RELEASE? YES R I EMAR 7 QV iLatitude alone gives information only about distances north and south of the equator. The prime meridian is a line selected to help us

142

Question 39Answer B

It is true that sun position is a major climate control.

However, all locations on the equator come under similar

sun relationships. Thus, climate variations along the equator

must be caused by other controls.Try question 34, page 140 again.

Page 146: ERIC R EPRODUCTION RELEASE? YES R I EMAR 7 QV iLatitude alone gives information only about distances north and south of the equator. The prime meridian is a line selected to help us

143

Question 39Answer C

Elevation is the correct response for this question. In

question 23, page 86, you should have observed that changes

in elevation can bring about temperature variations. Since

cooler air is less capable of holding moisture, temperature

changes can influence rainfall patterns. Thus, the climate

modifications existing on the equator are, in part, an effPct

of elevation.Go to question 40, page 144

Agriculturally oriented peoples everywhere organize their

activities around major climatic changes. For exampld, you may have

noticed that farmers perform differing tasks, such as planting, caring

for growing crops (cultivating), and harvesting during different

seasons of the year. The cycle of agricultural activities for corn

farmers living in northern Illinois looks like this:

MonthsJFMAMJJASONDActivity /Plant/ Cultivate /Harvest /

(P) (C) (H)

On the following chart indicate the kind of agricultural

activities which farmers near your home engage in each month of the

year. Use "P" for planting, "C" for cultivation, and "H" for harvest-

ing. There may be some months in which activities other than planting,

cultivating, or harvesting are important. If so, leave such months

blank.

Months JActivity

MAM J J A S 0 N D

You should observe that the agricultural pursuits of the farmers

living near to your home are closely related to seasonal changes in

climate. Since climates vary from place to place, the pattern of

activities you gave above will not hold for all places in the world.

For example, in Africa seasonal variations in rainfall are more

important than are temperature changes. Thus, the amount of rainfall

and its distribution throughout the year has a greater effect upon

determining month to month agricultural activities. Therefore, as you

answer the next group of questions be sure to observe the relationship

existing between rainfall distribution and the cycle of agricultural

activities.

Mech'a Galla Agriculture

The Mech'a Galla make most of their living through agriculture.

They raise cattle and use oxen for plowing, threshing and other

heavy farm work. Their most important crops are grains--wheat and

barley, t'ef (a grain grown only in Ethiopia and one whose tiny

seeds are ground into flour used in making a flat bread), maize and

sorghum. They also raise beans, chick-peas, lentils and a number

of other crops. Two plants are grown for sale rather than for

immediate use--flax and nug. The seeds of these are sold annually

to traders who take them to Addis Ababa where they are crushed to

extract their oil. The oil is then used in cooking or for various

industrial purposes.

The life of the Mech'a Galla farmer is hard. Most of his

waking hours are spent working in his fields. The months from

May to September are generally devoted to clearing land, plowing

and sowing. The rainy season usually starts in May; the rains

soften the ground and provide enough moisture so that seeds planted

Page 156: ERIC R EPRODUCTION RELEASE? YES R I EMAR 7 QV iLatitude alone gives information only about distances north and south of the equator. The prime meridian is a line selected to help us

then will sprout. Using a wooden plow pulled by two oxen yoked

together, the typical farmer must turn over the heavy muddy

ground two or three times in order to prepare iefor planting.

Then, he must plow these same fields once again after sowing

the seeds in order to cover then so the ever-present birds will

not eat them.

The months following the planting are devoted to weeding

and oft-times, hoeing. By late November and early December

certain varieties of wheat and other crops are ready to be har-

vested. The harvest continues into April. This means that a

man's day, day after day, for months, consists of bending over

and cutting grain a few inches above the ground with a sickle.

After the harvest, the farmer must hurry to prepare his

grain for sale or storage else the rains that start in May

will ruin his entire year's efforts. The process of collecting,

threshing and winnowing his harvest most often involves all

members of his immediate family as well as neighbors and

friends. The grain is brought from the field by women and

stacked to protect it as much as possible from the rain.

Since farmers living in this climatic zone have learned tominimize crop failures by planting different crops at different:times, the actual pattern of activities is more complex thanappears in Example A.

Question 47Answer B

Congratulations. You and your family just starved to'death.

The planting activity on the diagram you chose begins in

June and continues to August. The first rains come in

September. As a result the seed that you placed in the ground

would not germinate and grow. The planting of your crops

must be timed with the coming of the rains to insure adequate

moisture.Return to question 47, page 172and select another answer.

Question 47Answer C

The selection of this answer indicates that you understand

crops are planted in the spring, cultivation follows during

the summer months and harvesting is an activity of the early

fall. However, this is a cycle that you would mot likely

find in mid-latitude areas of the northern hemisphere, not

Africa. Within Africa rainfall not temperature is the major

control over agricultural activity. On the chart you chose,

notice that no rainfall occurs during the growing (cultivating)

months. Without moisture your plants could not survive.

Return to page 172, question 47

and select the agriculturalactivity chart that providesadequate moisture for thecultivation of crops.
