African Geography
Rainforest 
Animals: The African Rain forest has an extremely large number of exotic animals. Some of these animals are the gorilla, the African Forest Elephant, the Black Colobus Monkey, African Grey Parrot, Pygmy Hippopotamus, and many more. In the Congo Rain Forest, there are about 400 different species of mammals, 1,000 species of birds, and 700 species of fish which can be found.
Natural Resources: One natural resource that can be found in the rain forest is indeed the different species of plants. These plants are ingredients for 25% of drugs that help to treat things like cancer, heart disease, bronchitis, diabetes, and others. One very simple resource is also the oxygen that these trees give off which allows life for everything. Another important resource that these rain forests have is lumber for building but taking lumber from these forests is actually bad because it causes deforestation which effects the entire ecosystem and also releases carbon dioxide into the air. Some things that these rain forests have that might be useful for trading is the abundance of water because many places are dry and lacking water in Africa. Also, the fruits and special plants because the plants can be used to make medicines to heal and the fruits could also have certain nutritional values to help people stay healthy. In the Congo Basin as well, there are minerals such as tin, coltan, diamond, copper, cobalt, uranium, zinc, gold, and nickel.
Climate: Most of the time in these rain forests, they spend their time in humid and hot climates. The rain forests depend on rain to survive and maintain their vast amounts of species (animals and plants). Only about 2 percent of the sunlight gets through to the ground. The average humidity is between 77% and 88%. The temperatures rarely go above 34 degrees Celsius and rarely go below 20 degrees Celsius.
Geography: The African Rain forests are the second largest rain forests in the world. Out of all of the landscapes in Africa, the rain forest has the most amount of vegetation and species of plants. There are over 8000 species of plants and some of the species of tress are mahogany and walnut. However, the African Rain Forest is very dry compared to other rain forests. It only receives 1600 to 2000 mm of rain each year while the Amazon averages 2032mm. Rivers and waterfalls are also common running through the rain forest. There are three layers to the rain forest: the canopy, the understory, and the forest floor. The canopy is the top layer of trees that are extremely tall. The understory is a layer under the canopy that has smaller trees and shrub, but is mostly the trunks and branches of the canopy trees. Finally, the forest floor is mostly just home to many animals that can not live in trees.
Savanna 
Mediterranean Coast 
Sahara 
Climate: The climate in the savanna is very basic but is also very consistent. Temperatures normally are warm and range from 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The savanna does receive a decent amount of rain but not as much as the Mediterranean Coast or the rain forest.
There are a ton of animals that inhabit the African savanna. These animals consist of the cheetah, hyena, elephant, giraffe, zebra, gazelle, monkeys, and lions. These are the animals you would typically see if you were in the savanna.
Geography: Every region of Africa has very unique features to it. One thing that is located in the savanna is the oasis which serves as a fresh water place for people and animals. Both the Niger River and the Congo River run through the African savanna. Also, special trees such as the Sausage tree and the Thorn tree live in the savanna. The savanna makes up 65% of Africa as a whole.
Natural Resources: Natural resources in the savanna were huge for trading and for people to live there. One natural resource they have is the Niger River because it provides water. They also have trees like the Thorn tree and the Sausage tree in which their leaves are actually used for medicine. Maybe most importantly are the gold mines that are spread along the rivers and also the coal, oil, and silver.
Climate: The weather in the Mediterranean Coast is very similar to the savanna which makes it warm. However, in the winter, there is rain which makes the place very cold. Also, in the winter, it becomes a very dark, dewy, and snowy place.
Animals: Like most of the other regions, there are a wide variety of animals that inhabit the Mediterranean Coast. Most of these animals actually live in the ocean. Some of these animals are the Black Tip Reef Shark, Smooth Hammerhead Shark, Box Jellyfish, Loggerhead Turtle, and the House Gecko.
Geography: The Mediterranean Coast is a very large area of Africa which spreads as far as 970,000 sq miles. The sea that it borders is 1,200 feet deep and is surrounded by towering rocky mountains. There are also trees and sand that make up some of the ground of the Mediterranean Coast.
Natural Resources: The location and land from the Mediterranean Coast gives it many natural resources that people use to trade. Two major natural resource that is found in the Mediterranean Coast are oil and coal. They power machines and allow people to possibly get around in new transportation. Other things that are found here are gas, salt, and fish from the sea. Along with coal and oil, these can also be used for trade with other places.
Climate: The Sahara Desert is know for how hot it is. Apparently, the Sahara Desert on really hot days can reach up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Viscous sand storms are also present and occur at random times. These storms can be very dangerous and trap people without being able to see.
Animals: There is a mass amount of animals that live in the Sahara and have adapted to the climate and landscape. Some of these animals are the cheetah, camel, Fire Finch Bird, Sand Viper, Fenix Fox, ostrich, and the spotted hyena.
Geography: There are some major parts of the Sahara Desert which make it unique. One thing that makes it very unique are the large sand hills/dunes that are everywhere. Another thing that allows people to live is the oasis because it gives water, shelter, and food. Finally, the Hamadas are also very unique because they are a large flat land that is covered in fist size rocks.
Natural Resources: Most of the natural resources in the Sahara Desert are very important for trade and also for living. There are a bunch of salt mines that are scattered and are widely used for trade. Gold and Date Palm Trees are also good sources of trade because they have an abundance. You could also consider the water from the oasis a trade item because there is a lack of water.
