AFRICA

Southern Africa is surrounded on three sides by bodies of water: on the east and south by the Indian Ocean, and on the West by the Atlantic. This region is more isolated than Northern Africa and therefore is less influenced by outside cultures. 

 

The terrain of Southern Africa is made up of plateaus, or layers of rock that resemble flat table-like hills. They are covered with grasslands and plains sparsely dotted with trees. around the edge of South Africa, there is a mountain range known as the Great Escarpment, which serves as a boundary from the oceans. A lot of the water that hydrates the people and cattle of south Africa comes form the melting ice-caps of the mountains on this mountain range.
