SUNDAY 2/28 – DO NOW What are some ways nations are impacted when conquered by another nations. Explain. This can be positive or negative.

THE NILE RIVER 6650 kilometers long (26 Kuwait's) Flowing from Uganda and Ethiopia into Sudan and Egypt 40 million people live near the Nile Delta (where Nile drains into the Mediterranean) Aswan High Dam – holds flood waters releasing them when needed (for what?) Silt: sediment/minerals left on land after water floods creates nutrient soil – beneficial for farming.

SUNDAY 2/28– RIVERS Nile River: Longest river in the world. 95% of Egypt’s population depend on for water. **Population density along river: 3,320 people/sq. mile **Population density in the rest of Egypt: 177 people/sq. mile Many rivers not useful because of rapids, waterfalls, and gorges. **Congo River has 32 waterfalls.

THE NILE RIVER – GROUP WORK 1) Explain how the geography in Egypt has impacted the lifestyles of people. Use examples from the video clip. (It can be current or ancient). 2) Why is the Nile essential (important) to Abdulla and his family? Explain. 3) What would happen to the lifestyles of Egyptians if the Nile’s water supply is cut off because of dams built in Ethiopia? 4) How did the floods of the Nile lead to great success for the people of ancient Egypt?

MONDAY 2/29 – RIFT VALLEY Rift valley: lowland between two highlands. Result of plate movements (pulling apart) Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania Lakes Lake Victoria: 2 nd largest freshwater lake in the world.

MONDAY 2/29 – MOUNTAINS Mostly Volcanic Mountains – What causes this? Mt. Kilimanjaro 3 volcanic peaks tallest in Africa highest base above sea level in world

TUESDAY 3/1 – SAHARA DESERT Sahara Desert: Largest Desert in the world 3,000 miles across (4,800 km) Only 20% sand, the rest is small mountains and rock formations. Aquifers: water located as far as 6,000 ft. below ground Oasis: water from Aquifers comes to surface

TUESDAY 3/1 Mild/Varied Temps Desert Rainforest

TUESDAY 3/1 – TROPICAL GRASSLANDS Grassland with scattered trees

TUESDAY 3/1 – RAINFOREST Congo Basin Canopy – upper layer of tree crowns

TUESDAY 3/1 – GABON VIPER Up to 18 lbs. (8kg) Fangs up to 2 inches long

TUESDAY 3/1 SAHEL AND DESERTIFICATION Sahel: shore of the desert (southern strip of Sahara desert) transition into savanna (grasslands) Desertification: relatively dry area becomes increasingly arid(lack of water and overuse of land)

WEDNESDAY 3/2 – DO NOW What is desertification? Why does it occur? Explain. Which area in Africa do you think is most likely to suffer from this process?
