Lesson 1: Summary
The lesson delves into global and African landforms, emphasizing formations such as mountains, plateaus, and plains shaped by tectonic forces and erosion over millennia. Africa’s diverse geography includes the Atlas Mountains, Ethiopian Highlands, and Sahara Desert, each contributing to the continent’s environmental diversity. Spatial variations in landforms across Africa illustrate the dynamic effects of tectonic activity and erosion, exemplified by the Great Rift Valley and other erosional features. The lesson underscores the importance of studying these features in understanding Earth’s surface and its impact on climate, biodiversity, and human settlement patterns globally and within specific physiographic regions
