The Great Sprinx in Giza, Eqypt
241 feet long Archaeologist and Eqyptologist are not sure why or when the Ephinx was built. But many believe that it was intented as a guardian to protect the souls of deceased kings. Some experts think it was built in about 2500 B.C.
5
Describe How the physical environment appears to have affected the Great Sprinx since it was built. Speculate about human activities that might have added to the damage done by physical processes.
6
Climate and Population
Directions: Add the following features to your map. Create a legend. Respond to the questions in your notebook.
7
Add Climate Use coloring pencils. Write down your observations
About Africa’s climate. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
8
Add Population Density
Write down your observations About Africa’s population. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
9
Compare this two map and write down 3 conclusions:
10
Africa at night What physical o Human Features are responsible
For the following pattern?
11
Add Elevation Use the following Map symbol:
12
Add Hydrology (water)
13
Add Monsoon Wind: Use Arrows A wind system that influences large climatic regions and reverses direction seasonally.
14
West African monsoon A major wind system that affects West African regions between latitudes 9° and 20° N and is characterized by winds that blow southwesterly during warmer months and northeasterly during cooler months of the year.
15
Add the Horn of Africa: Color and Label this region.
The lowlands of the Horn are generally arid in spite of their proximity to the equator. This is because the winds of the tropical monsoons that give seasonal rains to the Sahel and the Sudan blow from the west. Consequently, they lose their moisture upon reaching Djibouti and Somalia, with the result that most of the Horn receives little rainfall during the monsoon season. East
16
The wind direction during the Northeast monsoon season in the Northern Hemisphere of the Indian Ocean during the months of December to March.
17
Add Famines: Label your map
18
Add Serengeti Plains Use parallels lines
Serengeti plain is made up of grassland and woodland, plains, kopjes, and marshes; all of which make up a savanna.
19
Add the Mt. Kilimanjaro Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa at 19,341 feet (5,895 meters), but it isn't a mountain in a traditional sense. It is a giant stratovolcano that began forming about a million years ago and is composed of many layers of hardened volcanic ash, lava, pumice and tephra — fragmental material that is the fallout from a volcanic eruption. Map symbol.
20
Add the Great Rift Valley
A rift valley is a linear-shaped lowland between highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic rift or fault. Two continental plates are moving apart and they create a rift valley. Draw and Shade the Rift on your map.
