5. Conflicts

1. Landscape and climate

Landscapes

Steppe

Savannah

Tropical rainforest

Mangrove

Dry

Wet

Landscape and agriculture

Not every landscape is suitable for agriculture. 

Mangrove?

Tropisch rainforest?

Savannah?                                          

Steppe ?                                                                                                                    

Steppe

Savannah

Tropical rainforest

Mangrove

List the different landscape from south to north. After the landscapes, write a + (suitable for agriculture) or a - (not suitable for agriculture).

Conclusion:

Southern Nigeria is wet and good for agriculture

The north is dry and therefore less good for agriculture

Why is it so hot on and around the equator? 

1

The sun shines perpendicular to the earth's surface

2

The sun's rays travel a shorter distance through the atmosphere

The angle of the sun's rays

Low width and high width

Cause 1: perpendicular solar rays (A) heat smaller surface area than oblique solar rays (B)

Cause 2: perpendicular solar rays shorter path through atmosphere 

Monsoon

Monsoon

In the south of Nigeria, they only know two seasons: Rain season and dry season.

In December/January it is very dry. This is because the wind turns then. 

Normally, the wind comes from the south of the sea (onshore wind), then from the north (offshore wind)

2. Population distribution

Population

• The country in Africa with the largest population. 

• Uneven  population distribution

Why would more people live in the South?
