Question

Which feature should appear on a physical map of the continent of

Africa?
O
Gobi Desert
O
tundra
pampas
savannas

Answer 1

Savannas

Step-by-step explanation:

The four types of biome described in this problem are:

- Desert: deserts are characterized by very few rainfalls over the year, and therefore they usually have little vegetation (only plants that require little amounts of water can survive). The Gobi desert is a desert located in Mongolia, so not in Africa.

- Tundra: tundras are typical of regions with very low temperatures on average. Tundra vegetation consists mostly of grasses, mosses and lichens. It is not found in Africa, due to the higher temperatures of this continent.

- Pampas: Pampas are fertile grasslands typical of South America. They are characterized by temperate climate, with an adequate level of precipitation that makes the soil suitable for agriculture. It is not found in Africa.

- Savannas: savannas are characterized by scattered shrubs and isolated trees. They are typical of tropical areas, with a warm/hot climate and low level of precipitations. They are widely found in Africa.

So the correct answer is

Savannas
