Africa is a continent of great size, almost 12 million square miles or
about three times the size of the United States. Most of it lies in the
tropics and, although we often think of Africa in terms of its rain forests,
less than ten percent of the continent is covered by tropical forests, and
those are mostly in West Africa. Much of the African surface is covered by
savannas, or open grasslands, and by arid plains and deserts. In geological
terms, the continent is really formed by a series of high plateaus broken in
the east by the Great Rift valley and the mountains that surround it. Large
rivers - the Congo, the Nile, the Zambezi, and the Niger - begin in the
interior of the continent and flow to the sea over great falls and cataracts
that mark the passage from the plateau to the coast. These falls have
historically made movement from the coast to the interior difficult, but the
great river systems have also provided the interior of Africa with routes of
communication.

Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Katherine Jones was an African American female mathematician who worked on NASA formula that helped the success of the first US spaceflight program, Project Mercury.</u> Her mathematics work was also key for the Space Shuttle program and Mars exploring mission.
<u>She is extremely inspirational as she was one of the first African Americans who worked at NASA. In the 50s, when her career started, racial segregation was very present in US society, and it was very hard for African Americans to get good jobs. Jones was also a woman, and the science field in the 50s was very prejudicial about accepting women. </u>
The women who did maths were referred to as "computers who wore skirts", weren't given the serious tasks and were looked down upon. Yet, Jones ignored the barriers that she faced because of her race and gender - she was courageous, assertive, self-confident and incredibly smart.
During her lifetime, she has also won many awards and was one of the topics of the movie 'Hidden Figures'.
<u>Jones managed to endure it all and get a job at NASA, making one of the biggest mathematical breakthroughs of the 20th century. Her pioneering legacy and the huge step she made, inspired all the people of color and women in the field to be more assertive and fight for acceptance without holding back.</u>
