2. Biomes are climate zones and throughout that area, throughout that region, you can see the same average temperature and average rainfall what that means is that you also see very similar plains of animals living in that region.

3. The most famous desert in Africa is, of course, the Sahara desert. Now, some parts of the Sahara desert are sandy like you can see here. Other parts of the Sahara desert are rocky but in either case, the fact that it is very dry is going to make it a very difficult barrier to cross.

4. It is not the rain itself that’s particularly important, it’s also the diversity. There are many different plants and animals piecesThat can be found in the rain forest and that’s one of the thing that makes the rain forest so valuable not just in Africa but throughout the Earth.
