βοΈπ Sahara Desert ποΈ
*Β Β π Size: 9.2 million sq km enormity; largest hot desert globally π₯
*Β Β π Location: Covers most of North Africa πΊοΈ; from Atlantic coast (west) π to Red Sea (east) π .
*Β Β Boundaries π§:
Β Β Β *Β Β North: Mediterranean Sea π & Atlas Mountains β°οΈ.
Β Β Β *Β Β South: Sudan πΈπ© & the Sahel region πΎ.
*Β Β πΊοΈ Countries: Spans parts or all of Algeria π©πΏ, Chad πΉπ©, Egypt πͺπ¬, Libya π±πΎ, Mali π²π±, Mauritania π²π·, Morocco π²π¦, Niger π³πͺ, Sudan πΈπ©, and Tunisia πΉπ³.
*Β Β ποΈ Landscape:
Β Β Β *Β Β Dominantly sand ποΈ; vast quantities of reddish sand dunes (ergs) ποΈ.
Β Β Β *Β Β Desert pavements of pebbles on flat sand sheets (regs) πͺ¨.
βοΈβοΈπ³ The Savanna π¦
*Β Β π Location: Transitional region between rainforest π΄ and the Sahel grasslands πΎ.
*Β Β Description π: Tropical grassland with few trees and shrubs π΄π³.
*Β Β πΏ Vegetation:
Β Β Β *Β Β Drought-resistant trees and shrubs π΅.
Β Β Β *Β Β Trees and shrubs often shed leaves in the dry season π (adaptation to reduce water loss π§).
*Β Β π³ Types:
Β Β Β *Β Β Woodland Savanna: Widely spaced trees (due to limited soil moisture in the dry season) π², dense lower layer of grasses πΎ. Open, park-like appearance. Medium height trees with flattened or umbrella-shaped crowns β±οΈ.
Β Β Β *Β Β Thorn Tree Tall Grass Savanna: (Implied but not described in detail in this text) π΅πΎ
*Β Β π² Tree Adaptations:
Β Β Β *Β Β Xerophytic forms with small leaves and thorns π΅.
Β Β Β *Β Β Broad-leaved deciduous species that shed leaves in the dry season π.
Β Β Β *Β Β Fire-resistant π₯.
*Β Β π₯ Fire: Frequent fires occur in the dry season π₯.
βοΈβοΈπΎ The Sahel πͺ
*Β Β π Location: Semiarid region south of the Sahara Desert ποΈ, forming a transitional zone. Part of the northern Sudan region πΈπ©.
*Β Β Meaning π: "Shore" in Arabic; the southern edge of the Sahara.
*Β Β π Extent: 5,000 km stretch from Mauritania & Senegal πΈπ³ (west) to Somalia πΈπ΄ (east).
*Β Β πΊοΈ Countries: Mauritania π²π·, Senegal πΈπ³, Mali π²π±, Niger π³πͺ, Nigeria π³π¬, Burkina Faso π§π«, Chad πΉπ©, Sudan πΈπ©, and Eritrea πͺπ·.
*Β Β ποΈ Landscape:
Β Β Β *Β Β Grasslands and savannahs πΎ.
Β Β Β *Β Β Scrub areas to the north πΏ, trees (mainly acacias) in the south π³.
Β Β Β *Β Β Natural pasture; low grass and tall herbaceous perennials π±.
*Β Β π§βπΎ Land Use: Forage for livestock (camels πͺ, pack oxen π, cattle π, and sheep π).
*Β Β π Transition: Similar to savanna, but merging into desert due to human activity & climate change β οΈ.
