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.

Local time: places on the same longitude (the imaginary grid lines that cover Earth that go up and down) would have the same local time.

<span>Women and men differ in their career choices both across and within fields, and psychology is no exception. Although subfield segregation has been reduced over the years, subfield differences persist (see Table 1). For example, in 2002, 82.7% of PhDs in developmental psychology were awarded to women, while only 56.2.% of PhDs in experimental psychology were awarded to women. (We excluded comparative, psychometrics, quantitative, and personality because of the small number of graduates: 7, 13, 8, and 23, respectively.) However, of new PhDs awarded in psychology in 2002, women earned more than 50% across all subfields (again, excluding comparative, psychometrics, quantitative, and personality). Unfortunately, the increasing number and proportions of psychologists who are women have not translated into equal professional participation across various subfields and leadership positions within psychology.</span>
