STUDY GUIDE

Part One: Mapping

You need to be able to identify the following physical geographic features of Africa on a map:

v Atlantic Ocean

v Indian Ocean

v Mediterranean Sea

v Red Sea

v Nile River

v Niger River

v Congo River

v Zambezi River

v Atlas Mountains

v Drakensberg Mountains

v Mount Kilimanjaro

v The Great Rift Valley

v Sahara Desert

v Kalahari Desert

Part Two: Developing a Geographic Mind

You will be asked a series of multiple choice, and fill in the blank questions relating to the physical geography of Africa. It is the same information as in the mapping section, but asked in written format rather than a pictoral representation.

For example: What river runs through western African countries such as Nigeria?

Part Three: Reading Thematic Maps

You will be given a copy of the Climate map of Africa. You need to be able to use the map key to read the map. You will be asked multiple choice questions regarding the climate of specific regions (i.e. Central v. Southern) Africa
