In the north, there is the Sahara desert. This is a vast and arid dry climate. There is very little precipitation. In the rest of Africa (sub Saharan) there is the savannah and rainforests. The savannah is a vast grassland filled with few trees and tall grass. This is located in the south area of Africa. In the middle part and western part of Africa there is dense rainforests, like the Congo. These rainforests get lots of precipitation and are gone to many species of animals, ie. Old world primates like apes. The East part of Africa is in an arid climate.

Answer:

South Africa is a relatively dry country, with an average annual rainfall of about 464 mm. While the Western Cape gets most of its rainfall in winter, the rest of the country is generally a summer-rainfall region. South Africa's coastal regions are therefore relatively warm in winter.

So in short: Hot and dry.

Hope this helps :)

describe different types of volcanoes, how do they form? can volcanoes change the climate if so how? can volcanic eruptions be p

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

There are mainly 4 types of volcanoes.

Explanation:

1. Cinder cones: They are a bowl-shaped crater, build from particle or blobs of congealed lava that is ejected from a single gas vent, as the air is broken into small fragments that are solidified and falls as cinders.

2. Composite volcanoes: stratovolcano or composite cone are those that form a steep-sided, symmetrical cone of large dimensions built around by lavas. Some examples are Mount Shasta in California, Mount Hood in Oregon.

3. Lava domes: There internal structure is defined by bulbous masses of lava, that are too vicious.

4. Shield volcanoes: These are built entirely by fluid lava, and flow p[ours in all directions.

A volcano can change its surrounding weather patterns but not the climate of a place as a climatic zone is composed of stable and static atmosphere like that of poles, tropics, and temperate lands, etc.

Not all volcanic eruptions can be predicted successfully as they are also triggered by an earthquake and the active or dominant type of volcano can be identified based on its previous eruption patterns.

Precipitation that occurs in the low latitudes is also known as-

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Convectional precipitation

Explanation:

<em>Convectional precipitation is a type of precipitation that occurs in the low latitudes. </em>

The low latitudes are typically the tropical belt of the world which straddles the equator.

During convectional precipitation, high amount of solar insolation rapidly heats the ground evaporating surface water to form rain clouds.

Orographic precipitation occurs in high altitude regions. The peaks causes the formation of rain clouds which leads to a mountain have a windward and leeward sides.

Frontal precipitation occurs at the point of convergence of two air masses, one warm and the other cold.

So, convectional precipitation is the appropriate choice here.
