Geographic Features of Africa, 22Online version Identify geographic features of Africa by Tania Hurlbutt 1 Gulf of Guinea - Gulf of Guinea, part of the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean off the western African coast, extending westward from Cap López, near the Equator, to Cape Palmas at longitude 7° west. Its major tributaries include the Volta and Niger rivers. 2 Atlantic Ocean - Body of salt water covering approximately one-fifth of Earth’s surface and separating the continents of Europe and Africa to the east from those of North and South America to the west. 3 Mediterranean Sea - An intercontinental sea that stretches from the Atlantic Ocean on the west to Asia on the east and separates Europe from Africa. 4 Mozambique Channel - Channel of the western Indian Ocean, threading between the island country of Madagascar on the east and Mozambique on the African mainland (west). 5 Great Rift Valley - A significant geographical region that stretches approximately 4,800 kilometers from Syria in southwestern Asia to Mozambique in southeastern Africa. It was formed due to the tectonic movement of African and Arabian plates 6 Horn of Africa - The easternmost extension of African land. Its location along the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean has made the Horn of Africa an important crossroads for trade, migration, and the spread of religious and cultural traditions between Africa and Southwest Asia. 7 Cape of Good Hope - A rocky promontory at the southern end of South Africa. European voyages around the Cape of Good Hope helped establish maritime trade routes linking Europe, Africa, and Asia. The cape later became strategically important for long-distance navigation and colonial expansion. 8 Congo Basin - It spans roughly 500 million acres across six Central African countries: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. It is a massive mosaic of rivers, dense forests, savannas, and swamps. 9 Congo River - It is the deepest river in the world, plunging down 720 feet (220 meters) in some spots. It is also the only major river on Earth to cross the equator twice, looping across west-central Africa in a giant, sweeping arc with a massive flow of water. 10 Orange River - The Orange River is the longest river in South Africa, stretching for about 2,432 kilometers (1,511 miles). It begins high in the Drakensberg mountains of Lesotho and flows westward across South Africa. Eventually, it empties into the Atlantic Ocean. 11 Nile River - The Nile River is widely known as the longest river on Earth. It stretches about 4,132 miles (6,650 kilometers) through 11 different countries in northeastern Africa before emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. 12 Lake Victoria - It is the largest lake in Africa and chief reservoir of the Nile, lying mainly in Tanzania and Uganda but bordering on Kenya. Its area is 26,828 square miles (69,484 square km). 13 Niger River - It is the main river of West Africa. It spans about 2,600 miles (4,200 kilometers) and is the third-longest river in Africa. It flows in a unique crescent shape through Guinea, Mali, Niger, Benin, and Nigeria before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean. 14 Lake Chad - Lake Chad is a large freshwater lake in Africa. It is located where four countries meet: Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon. This lake is a very important wetland area in West-Central Africa. 15 Red Sea - It is a long, narrow body of water connecting to the Indian Ocean in the south. It lies between the continents of Africa and Asia. It sits on top of a giant crack in the Earth's crust. This crack is called the Red Sea Rift. It is part of the larger Great Rift Valley. 16 Atlas Mountains - They are a 2,500-kilometer (1,600-mile) mountain range in North Africa. They run through Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, and they separate the Sahara Desert from the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The highest peak is Mount Toubkal in Morocco at 4,167 meters (13,671 feet) 17 Drakensberg Mountains - This mountain chain spans roughly 1,000 kilometers (620 miles), forming a natural border between South Africa and the kingdom of Lesotho. The name translates to "Dragon Mountains" from Afrikaans. 18 Indian Ocean - The third-largest water area on Earth; it covers about 20 percent of the water surface. It touches Africa, Asia, and Australia. It has the warmest surface water of all major oceans because land blocks it from the cold north. 19 Namib Desert - It is considered the oldest desert on Earth. It stretches over 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) along the Atlantic coast of Namibia, Angola, and South Africa; it is famous for towering sand dunes, heavy coastal fog, and unique wildlife. 20 Kalahari Desert - It spans roughly 900,000 square kilometers (350,000 square miles) across Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. It is a featureless, gently undulating, sand-covered plain, located 3,000 feet (900 meters) or more above sea level. 21 Zambezi River - Fourth-longest river in Africa, spanning roughly 2,200 miles (3,540 km) from its source to the Indian Ocean. It flows through or forms the borders of six countries—Angola, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique—and is famous for housing Victoria Falls. 22 Sahara Desert - The largest hot desert in the world, spans over 3.5 million square miles across eleven countries in northern Africa, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. Extreme temperature variations can exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and drop to freezing at night.
